The Field Mice - Missing The Moon



THE FIELD MICE
Missing The Moon
1991 Sarah Records

Notes :
The Field Mice were part of that shy, anorak-wearing, jangling guitar oriented 'C86' indie pop generation, then with its adorable bubbly trancey arpeggio motif, "Missing The Moon" is their synth-ravey moment, sounding like New Order circa 1990 or some Creation "Keeping The Faith" compilation offshoot (Hypnotone etc), while still preserving that proverbial indie modesty in the vibe. Delicious!

Riverhead was indie/madchester band formed in Edinburgh around 1988 by the guitar player and roadie from The Motorcycle Boy and - despite supposed interest from Rough Trade - quickly signed to Avalanche Records. The line-up was Michael Doran (Vocals, Liverpool); Richard Conte (Drums, Atlanta, ex-We Peoples!); David Scott (Guitar, Belfast, ex-Motorcycle Boy); and Rod white (Bass, Auchtermuchty). The band released three records. There were two four track EPs "Alpharetta" and "Haddit" as well a final single, "Was Away" (with Ady Powers replacing Scottie on guitar). Riverhead split in 1992.
