Song of the day

"The More That I Do", by The Field. This is the first taste of The Field's "Yesterday & Today", the forthcoming follow-up to 2007's "From Here We Go Sublime". (Or not, if you count his "Sound of Light", a collaboration with a Swedish hotel - n.b. not a typo.) As such it is, in and of itself, a cause for excitement. On the evidence of this track, we are in for more of the same, which is not yet a cause for concern, although there must be some danger that Mr Willner could, if he isn't careful, work himself into some sort of a corner. The steel drums at the end are a nice touch. And I swear the vocal sample this time around is taken from somewhere deep within the Cocteau Twins' "Treasure".
