Field Music – Making a New World (Memphis Industries)

Field Music’s new release is “Making A New World”, a 19 track song cycle about the after-effects of the First World War. But this is not an album about war and it is not, in any traditional sense, an album about remembrance. There are songs here about air traffic control and gender reassignment surgery. There are songs about Tiananmen Square and about ultrasound. There are even songs about Becontree Housing Estate and about sanitary towels.

YlangYlang – Interplay (Crash Symbols)

I’m loving the new YlangYlang album. When I first heard the term electroacoustic music years ago, this is what I wish it sounded like.
