==Split and legacy== The Field Mice split up in 1991 after a fractious tour to promote the ''For Keeps'' album, during which, at [[King Tut's Wah Wah Hut]] in [[Glasgow]], Wratten announced to the rest of the band he was leaving. The following date, at Tufnell Park Dome in London, proved to be the band's final act.<ref>{{Cite book |last=White |first=Michael Stuart |title=Popkiss: the life and afterlife of Sarah Records |date=2020 |publisher=Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing |isbn=978-1-62892-218-9 |location=London, England |pages=116-117}}</ref> Later, Wratten and Davies, who had begun a relationship during the last year of the band's existence, briefly formed Yesterday Sky with Dobson before the trio became the more synth-oriented outfit [[Northern Picture Library]]. Following the end of his relationship with Davies, Wratten went on to form [[Trembling Blue Stars]] in 1995 and then Lightning in a Twilight Hour.<ref name="Larkin90"/> Hiscock's later band The Gentle Spring released their debut album, Looking Back at the World, in 2025. A double-album compilation of the now long-deleted Field Mice releases, ''[[Where'd You Learn to Kiss That Way?]]'', was released in 1998 and sold more copies than any Field Mice record ever sold at the time. Their entire back catalogue was reissued on CD for the first time by [[LTM Recordings]] in 2005.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/11748-snowball-and-singles-skywriting-and-singles-for-keeps-and-singles/|title=The Field Mice: Snowball + Singles / Skywriting + Singles / For Keeps + Singles Album Review|first=Nitsuh|last=Abebe|date=March 16, 2005|website=[[Pitchfork_(magazine)|Pitchfork]]|access-date=2023-04-12}}</ref>
