A few months ago, I saw a pretty swell show at Thunderbird. I already told you a bit about it, as it featured local Pittsburgh favorites Big Hurry and new to me but quickly growing on me These Animals. However, I hadn't gotten around to posting about the third band... until now.
Field Mouse, like These Animals, hail from NYC... Brooklyn, to be precise. Field Mouse, like Big Hurry*, are a four-piece group with two dudes and two chicks. Unlike Big Hurry, the chicks are lead vox and bass, rather than vox and drums. Unlike These Animals, Field Mouse are a single specific species. Their tunes could be classified as "dreampop", and in fact have been so classified. This one's a new one, quite engaging, with lyrics worth pondering, and lo and behold, you can get it FREE on Bandcamp:
"all the fires I start
I'll put out on my own..."
* - more correctly, Big Hurry was a four piece outfit half comprised of ladies and half comprised of dudes. But then Andy moved deep in the heart of Texas, and now the ratio is 2 / 1. But hey, I was going based on the way things were in August, and trying for literary effect!
