Field Music - "Who'll Pay The Bills?"

Field Music have been celebrated as one of the few bands to transcend and outlast the short-lived NME-generated "post-punk revival" of the mid-noughties. Describing the band as "a truly artful proposition in the pseud-filled landscape of contemporary Brit art-rock", music blog The Fantastic Hope puts this down in part to their "un-self-conscious anti-fashion stance", arguing that Field Music's "wayward pop from the fringes of academia is one of the most worthwhile ways in which rock//indie/guitar music/white pop/whatever might evolve."

Field Music - "(I Keep Thinking About) A New Thing"

The wiry British jitter-pop duo Field Music have a new album called Plumb dropping early next year, and they’ve shared a track from the LP with the world. It’s called “(I Keep Thinking About) A New Thing,” and it’s the sort of tightly wound, falsetto-flecked, XTC-damaged stuff that the group used to build its name.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - "AKA... What A Life"

You may not immediately recognize this band name, but Noel Gallagher is the former lead guitarist, backing vocalist and principal songwriter of a little English rock band called Oasis.  He is the Gallagher banished from the new band Beady Eye that's playing with the other former Oasis members. 

This single and forthcoming album are officially due out mid-October, meanwhile there are a few other of his tracks floating around out there as well.

Troysnoise rarely posts for such an established artist, but this quality project is new and relatively unknown, so be the first to drop a line to your friends about this smooth new single.
