Our Take

David Brewis, the mastermind behind Field Music, is back with his solo project The Soft Struggles, and boy does he deliver. This album is a whimsical journey through Brewis' unique vision, blending intricate instrumentation with quirky lyrics in a way only he can pull off.

From the opening track "Softly Struggling" to the closing notes of "Whimsical Whispers," Brewis takes listeners on a sonic rollercoaster that never fails to surprise and delight. The album's sound is a delightful mix of indie pop, lo-fi folk, and experimental rock, creating a musical tapestry that is both familiar and refreshingly new.

Brewis' vocals are as charming as ever, effortlessly gliding over the lush layers of instruments that make up each track. His lyrics are clever and insightful, touching on themes of love, loss, and the absurdity of modern life.

Standout tracks include the infectious "Dancing in Dreams," the dreamy "Sunset Serenade," and the hauntingly beautiful "Ghosts of Yesterday." Each song showcases Brewis' talent for crafting catchy melodies and intricate arrangements that linger long after the music has stopped.

Overall, The Soft Struggles is a triumph for David Brewis, proving once again why he is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. This album is a must-listen for anyone craving something unique, heartfelt, and just a little bit quirky. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let The Soft Struggles take you on a musical adventure unlike any other.

About the artist

David Brewis

David Brewis is the elusive genius behind the critically-acclaimed music project, Field Music. With his brother Peter by his side, Brewis has been crafting intricate, genre-defying music since the early 2000s. Blending elements of pop, indie rock, and electronica, Field Music's sound is as unpredictable as British weather. Just when you think you have them figured out, they throw a curveball that leaves you scratching your head in awe. Brewis's songwriting is sharp and clever, with lyrics that delve into the complexities of human relationships and societal issues. His voice may not be the most conventionally "beautiful," but it conveys emotion in a way that few singers can match. His skills as a multi-instrumentalist are equally impressive, seamlessly weaving together layers of guitars, keyboards, and intricate percussion to create a sonic tapestry that is both rich and textured. Watching Brewis perform live is a treat for the senses. His infectious energy and playful banter with the audience make for an unforgettable experience. Whether he's belting out anthemic choruses or delicately plucking away at his guitar, he commands the stage with a confidence that is equal parts charming and intimidating. In a music scene that often values style over substance, David Brewis is a refreshing reminder that true talent and artistry will always shine through. Field Music may not be a household name (yet), but for those in the know, they are a treasure waiting to be discovered.
