A beautifully arranged release by one brother half of Field Music, with his falsetto voice, gentle piano, woodwind, acoustic guitar and some brass decorating a folk-pop-jazz fusion that also has the magic of early 70s Van Morrison and a dash of Nick Drake. Joined by brother Peter and several other collaborators, that Astral Weeks echo is particularly in evidence on the lovely twitterings on Surface Noise, and a gentle three-time swing rhythm, which occurs several times in the album, especially the lovely, resolute High Time. Other highlights include the bossa nova-style Tomorrow, Start Over, and the excellent single, The Last Day, with galloping drums and brass. Truly gorgeous, sensitive, evocative songs. Out on Daylight Saving Records.
