60 Minutes or less - A podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast12 Mar 2024

60 Minutes or less - Episode 5 - Peter Brewis (Field Music)

Off the back of the first four '60 Minutes or less' episodes - featuring guests Joe Casey (Protomartyr), Paul Hanley (The Fall), Philip Frobos (Omni) and Jonathan Higgs (Everything Everything) - it's a trip to present our fifth episode, featuring Peter Brewis!

A North East musician of note, alongside brother David, Peter is the other half of the brilliant Field Music. He’s also released a solo record as The Week That Was (which recently celebrated a 15 year anniversary) and collaborative albums with Paul Smith and Sarah Hayes.

In October 2023, Peter released ‘Blowdry Colossus’ - a solo album of mostly-instrumental wonky synth-pop, influenced by the likes of Yellow Magic Orchestra. ‘Blowdry Colossus’ was the first solo outing from Peter since The Week That Was in 2008, though as with that album, brother David played on both records.

The recording of this actually took place back in late 2023 - ahead of a sold out show at The Castle Hotel in Manchester, I caught up with Peter in the glamorous backstage area to talk about his latest solo record and new Field Music material. If you had Peter discussing making a metal album on your podcast bingo card, you’ve won a prize!

As ever, if you like what you hear, give us a rating, tell your loved ones and share on the internet (or maybe even print off transcripts and hand them out in the street). Enjoy!
