School of Language is David Brewis, who also makes music with his brother Peter as Field Music. This is the third School of Language album, following on from Sea From Shore in 2008 and Old Fears in 2014.

This is an album about Donald Trump - his dubious rise in politics, his capricious behaviour while in office and the motley cast of characters he has surrounded himself with.

It’s not exactly a protest record, though it is shot through with anger. It’s definitely not a joke, though some of it is darkly funny. It is a tragedy and it is a farce. The songs are sung from different points of view, almost as if it’s a Donald Trump funk musical. One advisor sells Trump on the idea of a border wall. Another one feels he can’t quit because of the chaos that might follow. Rex Tillerson fumes at his plummeting status. Psychiatrists fret about the President’s mental stability. Hillary Clinton laments her loss. Trump himself brags and equivocates in his own unique, blustering style.

45 was written and recorded in a little less than two months during gaps in the schedule at Field Music’s studio in Sunderland. It was inspired by Bob Woodward’s book Fear, articles in the Washington Post, The New Yorker and The New York Times and by Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight. It was also inspired by James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, The Meters, Otis Redding and Free.

PACKING VINYL THE RIGHT WAY
Tired of getting damaged records mailed in flimsy used boxes? Tired of seam splits through album covers b/c the record wasn't properly fitted in the box?

I individually and meticulously package every piece by hand to ensure you receive the same album or LPs in the same condition they were when I boxed them.

  • I package each record like I am sending it to myself. I hate bent corners and seam splits. That?s why I take the time to package each record and prepare the mailer for potential issues during transit.
  • All records come in vinyl mailer boxes and packaged using bubble wrap.
  • Each jacket and record are packaged separate but beside one another slipped inside a 3mm poly sleeve.
  • Each box mailer includes  a cardboard ?plank? applied to each corner around the outside edge of the package to prevent damage during transit.

Sometimes I'll recycle one of those expensive box mailer from a big label or vinyl club.

?Drop needles, not bombs.?
