We’d heard Brooklyn’s Field Mouse via OH MY ROCKNESS earlier this year but had yet to catch a show of theirs prior to CMJ. Live, the band comes off as wildly reminiscent of the early 90s noise-pop scene, reminding me alternately of the superb Pale Saints + early Velocity Girl, and sometimes sounding like a really nice hybrid of the two. The band’s core is made up of singer-guitarist, Rachel Browne, and guitarist, Andrew Futral, whose playing is sometimes more minimalistic scene-painting and really reminds me of this great mid-90s Richmond-VA-based band, Minnow.

Give their new track, “How Do You Know” a listen and, if you like it, pick it up in 7″ form over at Lefse Records. Twin Peaks fans—be sure to listen on below after the main track to hear the b-side, their dreamy cover of the show’s theme. Also below, the minimalist slo-mo video for their song, “Glass.” They’ll be playing a couple Brooklyn shows in the coming weeks too if you hunger for even more.

Ew. That ended on a weird note.
