The Field Mice were contemporaries of the shoegazer scene of the late 80s/early 90s, and the zeitgeist shows; though there isn't much in the way of guitar feedback and MBV-esque noise. It's a more subtle, plaintive affair, perhaps reminiscent of Soul Whirling Somewhere (or, more probably, vice versa). The double CD ... comes with a thick booklet giving a history of the band, written by an ex-Sarah staffer (and ex-gf of one of the original band members), and capturing the UK indie scene of the time.
