1989–1991years

The Field Mice started in London in 1988 as a two-piece, Robert Wratten and Michael Hiscock, and made their records for the independent label Sarah Records, playing indie pop with its heart on its sleeve. "Sensitive", from 1989, has a title that could double as the band's mission statement.

By 1990 the duo had grown into a five-piece, with Annemari Davies, Mark Dobson and Harvey Williams joining up, and the sound filled out to match. Across three albums and a steady stream of singles and EPs they cut a session for John Peel and cracked the top 20 of the UK Independent charts for both singles and albums. "Missing the Moon" came in 1991, and so did the end: the band called it a day that year, leaving a short, bittersweet catalog behind.
