Peter Brewis - Blow Dry Colossus

Released 6th October 2023

Daylight Saving Records will release Blowdry Colossus, the new solo album by Field Musics Peter Brewis. The record is Peters first solo venture since 2008s The Week That Was and follows collaborative albums with Paul Smith (on 2014s Frozen By Sight) and Sarah Hayes (on 2019s You Tell Me). The album was recorded over the last year at the Field Music studio in Sunderland, and features contributions from Peters brother David, Sarah Hayes and Peters son Alexander.

Peters work with Field Music, and across all the parallel projects hes undertaken, has always been characterised by curiosity; an urge to find new musical and lyrical avenues to explore, to mine under-appreciated influences, to combine disparate musical strands. Blowdry Colossus makes this tendency more explicit than ever.

I wanted to make something where the music was the focus. says Peter, Wit
