If any band can take on the challenge of scoring a 1929 silent documentary about a North Sea fishing expedition from the Shetland Islands, it’s Field Music.

The Sunderland band are architects of some of the most creative melodic art-rock you'll ever hear and although their soundtrack to John Grierson's Drifters holds off on their more unconventional idiosyncrasies, these instrumental tracks – built around guitar, shuffling drums, piano and organ – weave and bob with no little flair.

There is a playfulness to the motifs used on Village and Destroyers of the Deep, while Hauling and The Storm Gathers are the most recognisably Field Music-like to fans.

Watching it with the film is undoubtedly more effective, but even without the visual component this is a mostly engrossing affair.
