Andrew Lloyd Webber on a horrendous drug come down? That sounds amazing!” Although ‘Thy Socialite!’, the first release from Field Music’s new record label, Daylight Saving Records, is not the sound of Lloyd Webber quivering and sweating in a rotting Berlin flat but instead, a fun, joyous, audacious record of hard rock, glam, and pop that ranges from arena to art school. “I wanted to include a more rockist palette,” Black says. “My last album, ‘Higgledypiggledy’, had influences including The Cardiacs, Prince and The Residents. For this one I wanted to see what I could get out of less indie audience friendly artists such as Toto, Sweet, Wings, Def Leppard and ZZ Top and merge it with a SLUG sensibility. Due to the more rock approach, I was happy for the album to become a big classic rock unit – pompous even.” However, simply a pastiche and nostalgic throwback this isn’t. Despite the playful nods to some of the more grandiose, theatrical and overblown elements of the aforementioned genre, it’s also an album with a contemporary pop edge, slick production and a tangible connection to SLUG’s previous deft mix of indie, rock and art pop. For David Brewis of Field Music, it was the ideal first record to kick off their new label. “This seemed like the perfect start for Daylight Saving Records,” he says. “We’ve always loved what Ian does and it’s been a thrill over the years to help Ian dig these wild musical ideas out from his brain. Now we can have a hand in putting them into people’s ears too.” Artist Slug Genre Rock And Pop Label Daylight Saving Records Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Insults Sweet Like Treacle Please Turn It Up Casual Cruelty Instant Reaction Honestly Subjective 'Bout Your Own Thing Lovingly Legerdemain Wow (Whatta Gurl) Depends On What You Think Is Nice Be a Good Martyr!
