THE BBC's sound desk is temporarily down and the brothers behind Field Music are taking advantage of the break by revealing how the icy weather nearly killed their new album.
They're recording a session for Rob da Bank at the Beeb's Maida Vale studios, ahead of their biggest ever headline gig at Scala on March 3.
Their third album - Field Music (Measure) - a generous 20-tracks, considering their last album was a mere 30 minutes - is out on November 15.
But it nearly didn't happen, younger brother David Brewis says: "Before Christmas I slipped on the ice and smashed the screen on the laptop. We do all our recording on our laptops - almost everything on the album. The press lost the CD master so I had to somehow burn a new master from my laptop even though I could only see the top third of the screen.
"The people repairing the laptop told me there’s something wrong with the CD drive as well so it's quite possible we’re sending an album out with some kind of terrible errors - but I’m sure they'd have spotted it."
Next time wear your snow boots!
