Oct 18, 2024On Limits of Language, they specifically utilized a handful of synthesizers to craft their intricate songs. What's particularly engaging about the band's production here is that, rather than trying to get the keyboards to stand in or mimic other instruments, you can really hear them drawing inspiration from the specific sounds of each synthesizer.

MojoOct 15, 2024The brothers’ art for art’s sake sensibilities drive pleasingly obtuse yacht-rocker Sounds About Right and fractured prog-funk oddity Curfew In The Square, while I Might Have Been Wrong’s ace chorus feels like an ambush after its clammy, insomniac verse. [Nov 2024, p.91]

Oct 15, 2024It does lack the melodic hooks of some of Field Music’s previous albums – there’s certainly nothing as instantly accessible as Them That Do Nothing or The Noisy Days Are Over, and some may find the somewhat ‘busy’ atmosphere of the album a bit overwhelming. However, it’s always good to hear the Brewis brothers back together, and Limits Of Language is a fine way to celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band.
