Making a New World

Field Music

Nineteen tracks of interlocking art-pop exploring a century of history. Dry, rhythmic, and intellectually sharp music that finds soul in the archives.

It's a funky, brainy history lesson about how WWI basically invented the modern world.

An intellectually curious and rhythmically precise exploration of historical echoes.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from the chaotic vibrations of Sound Ranging into the sudden heavy void of Silence.
The way the syncopated, dry guitar riff in Only in a Man's World locks into the drum kit with clockwork precision.
The unexpected shift into a funk-inflected groove during Money Is a Memory that contrasts with its heavy economic themes.
