LOVELESS UNBELIEVER

Extremely limited green vinyl LP pressing including digital download. Another coveted out-of-print album from Elefant is coming back into circulation in limited edition. In that not-so-far-away 2010, The School were already one of the most promising new groups. With two magnificent singles like "All I Wanna Do" and "Let It Slip" in 2008, they made fans of groups like The Pipettes, Camera Obscura, and Lucky SouL focus on them, and the arrival of their first full-length was anxiously awaited. And when the album arrived in stores, it confirmed what those singles promised: ultra-melodic songs, agile and deliciously pop arrangements, chu-chu-ruchus and para-papas, prodigious wind instruments, and heavy echoes of the girl-groups of the sixties that we love so much. With the production work of the still totally essential Ian Catt (Saint Etienne, Trembling Blue Stars, The Field Mice, Shampoo, The Boo Radleys), the group from Cardiff give us songs like "Valentine", "Is He Really Coming Home?", "I Want You Back" and "Hoping And Praying", which we were already saying back then were unquestionably going to become an irresistible part of an unforgettable repertoire.
