Field Music share new single "Do You Read Me?"

"Do You Read Me?" is the group's fourth single to be lifted from their upcoming eighth album, after "Beyond That of Courtesy", "Money Is A Memory", and "Only In A Man's World".

Field Music's Making A New World album will be their first since 2018's Open Here, and is inspired by the after-effects of the First World War, with songs about air traffic control, gender reassignment surgery, Tiananmen Square, and ultrasound.

The new album began when Field Music took on a project from the Imperial War Museum. The starting point for the record was a document from the museum collection, an image from 1919 on munitions by the US War Department, made using "sound ranging" - a technique that utilised an array of transducers to capture the vibrations of gunfire at the front.
