Description

Another great record from The Field Mice. Sarah 601 Vinyl is NM, Cover is VG +++ due to small edgewear on top spine. This is the 2nd LP by Field Mice released in 1990.

The Field Mice were the most popular band on the indie label Sarah Records. Initially a duo from South London suburb of Mitcham comprising Bob Wratten and Michael Hiscock, their first EP, "Emma's House," was released in late 1988. But it was with their second single Sensitive that they first received significant critical attention with a subsequent placing in John Peel's 1989 Festive 50.

Over a three year career the band were often dogged with the reputation of having a post-C86 indiepop or generic Sarah Records sound despite producing tracks with numerous styles and influences. Early singles and even their sleeves harked back to early Factory Records bands such as New Order and The Wake, with many tracks often featuring sequencers and samples. Many of the group's recordings, notably Triangle and their epic seven-minute swan song, Missing the Moon, displayed a strong influence from the popular dance music of the time. Most of the group's records were produced by Ian Catt, who later went on to develop the pop dance sound of Missing The Moon further with Saint Etienne (whose second single was a Field Mice cover).

The band split up in 1991 after a fractious tour to promote the For Keeps album, during which lead singer/guitarist Robert Wratten announced he was leaving.

Later, Field Mice members Wratten, Annemari Davies (Wratten's ex-girlfriend), and Mark Dobson briefly formed the more synth-oriented outfit Northern Picture Library.
