Field Music - Tones of Town

This new record from Field Music is an excellent breather from the "Angular" styles that have dominated (indie) rock over the last few years. Plenty of luscious vocal harmonies and crisp syncopation, with the occasional '70s guitar lick (see the 0:50 mark of opener, "Give it, lose it, take it") thrown in for good measure. One of 2007's best so far, and a great soundtrack for the sunny days ahead.
