Field Music's David Brewis is School of Language. His Thrill Jockey debut, Sea From Shore, is an instantly addictive collection of songs highlighted by bouyant loops and chunky riffs. The album was primarily recorded by David alone and consciously susceptible to the cut-and-paste, multi-tasking tangents induced by laptop recording, these constructions are resolutely un-band-like, veering between the intricate and unplayable and the solitary and unadorned, their cohesion stemming from an embrace of all that is most obtuse and personal.

Sea From Shore features one or two cameo appearances from David's hometown friends. Barry Hyde of The Futureheads plays guitar and sings on "Disappointment '99", while the same band's David Craig, sings on "Disappointment '99" and on "Extended Holiday". School of Language will be touring the U.S. in March joined by Doug McCombs (Tortoise, Eleventh Dream Day, Brokeback) on bass and Ryan Rapsys (Euphone, Ambulette) on drums.
