“Them That Do Nothing” is taken from Field Music’s fourth full-length studio album, Measure. Although the Sunderland quartet have been compared to Futureheads and The New Pornographers in the past, “Them That Do Nothing” could be C&V’d straight from A Hard Day’s Night.
The vocals, guitar and trademark baseline are undeniably McCartney/Starr/Lennon/Harrison-inspired, but not in the faux-Fab Four tradition of Oasis; this is tastefully played with a poise that has become a signature-mark of this indie band. Aside from the Beatles’ parallels, the song also invokes Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac – the twitches of acoustic guitar and sporadic electric improvisations are highly similar to Don’t Stop or Never Go Back Again.
Genius recommends; XTC, The Police, The Left Blanke, The Shins, Correcto
