Ending an unplanned hiatus begun in 2016, the Brooklyn-and Philly-based Field Mouse have resurfaced to release their third full-length record, entitled Meaning. Slowly and painstakingly put together during politically tumultuous times, Meaning naturally came to be a record about "growing as a person despite the feeling of global entropy," as guitarist, vocalist, and lead writer Rachel Browne describes. But what exactly is the function of art in such a chaotic world? Over the course of Meaning's 11-song runtime, Field Mouse deftly posit their own answers to this tricky question, maneuvering between issues of growth, social media, insomnia, and forgiveness, the result of which is a nimbly composed dream pop record with infectious inflections of shoegaze and indie rock.
"[...] a record that makes peace with our former selves and allows us to grow despite the entropy that surrounds us. It doesn’t provide answers for the chaos, instead offering eleven ruminations that look for an answer – for meaning – at a time when most of us feel lost. The songs explore what the world ending means on a global level and also on a personal level. They provide coherent narratives for when things are out of control – in the government, in your personal life, in your family and your social circle." - GoldFlakePaint on Meaning
"Philadelphia indie-rockers Field Mouse pile cozy textures and hazy harmonies high on their latest record." - Bandcamp on Meaning
"This is a top notch [Field Mouse] hit, with their sound wasting no time in rallying an all-hands effort of punctuated pop rock hooks fizzing the reflection pool of Browne’s tranquil ripples." - Recommended Listen on "Heart of Gold"
"[...] a dream-pop gem that promises Meaning will be worth the wait." - The Alternative on "Heart of Gold"
"["Heart of Gold"] is a bombastic introduction to the record, as the steady pound of snare plays off against twiddling lead-guitar lines, and Rachel Browne’s vocal, nodding to Waxahatchee and Stars in equal measure." - For the Rabbits on "Heart of Gold"
"lush and dreamy" - WXPN's The Key on "In Blue"
