With their sales making the Field Mice the premier band of the cult label Sarah Records, they released a series of singles before a compilation album, Coastal, was released in 1991 (1991 in music).

Field Mice with capital lettering also refers to intelligent creatures -- field mice -- that live just outside the Emerald City of Oz and aid Dorothy Gale, the Scarecrow (Oz), the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion to escape the sleep-inducing poppy fields in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and in the retaking of the Emerald City in The Marvelous Land of Oz. They are ruled by a queen.
