Ahead of a summer that includes a set on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury and a support slot for Neil Young at British Summer Time in London’s Hyde Park, Our Man in the Field are reissuing their debut album “The Company of Strangers” — this time, reimagined in immersive Dolby Atmos – on 6th June 2025.
Originally recorded in a small London room with a shoestring budget, a handful of microphones, and a lot of heart, “The Company of Strangers” captured a raw, unfiltered sound that launched the band’s journey. Now, through the lens of producer Lawrence Biancardi, the music has been given new depth. The full-length Atmos remix surrounds the listener in 360-degree sound, revealing the creaks, breaths, and layered harmonies that characterised the album. “This wasn’t about fixing or modernising,” says Biancardi. “It was about revealing what was already there—the feeling of lightning in a bottle.”
The reissue precedes the release of “Silverado” which they describe as their most ambitious record to date: “a genre-bending cowboy hip-hop” album produced by Guy Fletcher (Dire Straits) at Mark Knopfler’s British Grove Studios, and featuring guests including Sonny Landreth, Wil Fry (Jungle) and Ethan Johns.
Despite their sonic evolution, “The Company of Strangers” remains a poignant snapshot of the band’s beginnings. You can see the video for ‘Thin (I Used To Be Bulletproof)’ (non-Dolby Atmos) below.
