ABOUT THIS ITEM

After the singles "Let It Slip" and "All I Wanna Do", various BBC sessions, and appearing on Rough Trade's best of the year compilation, Cardiff band The School release their debut album "Loveless Unbeliever". This may be the album that fans of bands like Camera Obscura, The Pipettes and Belle & Sebastian have been waiting for. Produced by Ian Catt (Saint Etienne, Trembling Blue Stars, The Field Mice) The School's songs, with their hummable choruses, their doo-doo-wops and their catchy arrangements, show the same sense of melody as the 60s girl-group greats, the youthful irreverence that the Grease soundtrack boasted, the imaginative arrangements of greats like Phil Spector or Jack Nitzsche, all updated with an impressive pop vision, with that elegance so suited to the best pop.
