PRESS

"The joint best Welsh pop band EVER" - Adam Walton, Radio Wales

"Perhaps I’m only revealing my own roots in C86 when I talk about how much I adore this, but it’s on pink vinyl!" - Everett True, The Village Voice

"infectious, hyper-melodic pop you can simultaneously cry and dance to" - Rough Trade

"a swaying, winsome tune with some of the Phil Spector lushness of Lucky Soul, the Belle & Sebastian-style modesty of Camera Obscura, and the airy, girl-group vocals of both" - Pitchfork

"On bubblegum pink vinyl, the sixties-saturated sound of The School is indiepop par excellence. ‘All I Wanna Do’ conjures up the aching hearts of Mary Weiss and the Ganser sisters as Liz Hunt’s little-girl-lost voice pours on the passion to describe an angelic innocent’s first big crush. ‘Valentine’ is like a pixie-booted Eurovision entry with a stomping piano-led tune that’s swept aloft by heavenly strings. Douze points pour Le Pays de Galles: c’est magnifique!" - SoundsXP

"indie pop sweetness blended with heart-lifting girl group harmonies, punchy Northern Soul beats and lush Brill Building strings" - VIDEO OF THE DAY (Let It Slip) - AllMusic

"they do enough to at least light up (if not part) the greying clouds into blue sky as a musical and meteorological Moses with their floaty, shimmering and often clip-clapping tunes" - DrownedinSound

I think you recently played Narcfest up in Newcastle but unfortunately I missed it, gutted. Hopefully you'll come back up at some point. I love your sound.
