The Field Mice formed in 1988 around Robert Wratten and Michael Hiscock. They put out early recordings on independent labels that didn't get much attention at first. Their second album 'For Keeps' in 1990 changed that, with songs like 'Emma's house' and 'End Of The Affair' finding an audience drawn to their particular blend of indie pop.
Their catalog included albums like 'Snowball' and 'Where'd You Get Your Faith?' along with singles such as 'So Said Kay' and 'Between Hello And Goodbye'. The lineup shifted over time with members including Kevin Eden on drums and Mark Dobson on bass. They broke up in 1997 after nearly a decade together.
After the band ended, Robert Wratten kept making music as Trembling Blue Stars. The Field Mice's recordings, especially tracks like 'Canada' and 'Coach Station Reunion', still surface in conversations about that era of British indie music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
