The language of indie pop at its brittle best
Published Date:

One third of the highly regarded Field Music, School of Language comes to Northern Ireland next week for a show in the Black Box.
While Field Music are on extended hiatus, dormant but strongly rejecting any notion that the band have quit music altogether, this side project is building a momentum of its own.
Sunderland native David Brewis creates brittle, edgy indie-pop tunes that veer towards the experimental but never lose their sense of rhythm.
The result manages to sound like an amalgamation of the best bands from the past four decades, with a compelling timeless quality.
Support comes from San Francisco band The Dodos, who caused a stir at the SXSW music festival in Texas earlier this year with their blend of psychedelic folk and pop.
n School of Language and The Dodos perform at the Black Box, Belfast, on Monday.
Tickets cost £7 and are available at the door or online
