The Week that Was–s/t
Fans of Field Music take note: the Brewis brothers are pursuing separate projects that are easily as good as recent FM output. The Week That Was is lead by Peter Brewis, and it has a sort of 80s epic feel that reminds me at times of Tears for Fears and the early Peter Gabriel/Genesis. For those who are cringing: stop! TWTW is no mere repeat and they don’t deserve to be simply lumped in with the wave of 80s revivalists. If you don’t like the sort of scenic rock driven by keyboards and minor keys, you can probably leave these guys aside. But what they are doing is neither easy nor boring rehash. The ambitious scope of these works is to be applauded, and it’s a damn fine thing to have albums every now and again that are albums and not collections of songs. I keep this one next to my cd player and just sink into it every couple of days. More albums like this please.
