Field Mice

The Field Mice were a twee-pop/jangle-pop group from South London. Forming in 1987 and dissolving in 1991, they were considered the flagship band of the Sarah Records label.https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-field-mice-mn0000066869/biography
The group was initially formed as a duo between singer/guitarist Robert Wratten and bassist Michael Hiscock, before eventually expanding to become a quintet with the addition of guitarist Harvey Williams, keyboardist Anne Mari Davies, and drummer Mark Dobson.
Following the band's dissolution, Wratten, Davies, and Dobson reunited in the bands Northern Picture Library, and Trembling Blue Stars.
==Links To Peel==
A band that Peel played on his shows in the late 80s and early/mid 90s, who were first signed to Sarah Records. After playing their Sensitive track on his 13 February 1989 show, Peel made a comment that someone on the Mayo line said the song sounded like a fast version of the House Of Love's Destroy The Heart, which he totally agreed with.
