If you enjoy that, you will probably like Bobby Wratten's other band,
Trembling Blue Stars. The song All Eternal Things from The Seven Autumn Flowers (2004)
has a definite Cure vibe to it.

Wonderful album. "Letting Go" is a masterpiece - like someone mixed the best of New Order, The Cure and The Smiths into one song.

This album is 🥰

But there's no LP that properly covers the greatness of The Field Mice, because so much of their best stuff was released on singles and EPs. I wish there were a comp with all their non-LP tracks and none of their LP tracks.

Coastal by The Field Mice

This is close (a handful of LP tracks, but otherwise).

It's not really though. It's missing a lot of non-LP tracks, Emma's House being the most blatant omission. I just want something authoritative - is that too much to ask? :lol:

Where'd You Learn To Kiss That Way by The Field Mice

Well, maybe this? 🤣

I get what you mean though. Not sure if there will ever be a Field Mice boxset, but that'd be nice.

All kinds of beautiful - one of my most prized pieces of vinyl, and pretty much perfect from start to finish.

Might stick it on actually - will provide a nice respite to listening to this Crass LP I've just bought.
