Field Music's soundtrack album 'Music for Drifters' gets wider release
Field Music’s instrumental soundtrack album ‘Music for Drifters’ will get a wider release on 24 July following its limited vinyl only Record Store Day release.
The album is recording of the cinematic score to accompany screenings of Drifters, a seminal silent documentary by John Grierson, the pioneering Scottish filmmaker known for coining the term ‘documentary.’ The film follows the working day of a herring fishing fleet as they set sail from the Shetland Islands to battle the elements of the North Sea fishing grounds and originally premiered in 1929 alongside Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin.
