iTunes Review
It took a band of eight to create this lush pop confection. Loveless Unbeliever is the delectable full-length debut from Wales’ the School (not to be confused with the harder-rocking the School from Norway, also here on iTunes). Vocalist/keyboardist and songwriter Liz Hunt’s voice is wispy-thin and light as a bubble, much like Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura, while musically the band is closer to the ‘60s retro sound of the Carrots and the Pipettes. With cool reverb, jangling bells, horns and violins, the School embrace pop music (and vintage American figureheads like Phil Spector, the Beach Boys and Burt Bacharach) with a joyful reverence, giddy with the possibilities of youthful reinvention. A plethora of amazing tunes like “Let It Slip,” “Can’t Understand,” “The One Who Left Me,” and the ridiculously melodic “Is He Really Coming Home” are scattered throughout Loveless Unbeliever, each one feeling more perfectly crafted than the last. We don’t need to be told to pay attention to the School; we’re rapt students already.
Customer Reviews
Modern 60's pop
As part of the neo-early-1960's pop sound that seems to be growing in popularity in the last few years, "The School" does it's best to show why that "sound" was so likeable. It's simple and fun with just the right amount of heartbreak and troubles. The School's musicals hooks are not as catchy as Camera Obscura's but for a first album, it's quite nice and worth the cost. I look forward to hearing more from these folks.
The full album... finally!!
Having purchased and played their EP for much of 2009, it's great to see a full album from the band. A sound with a great vibe (similar to Camera Obscura) and great vocals. You have to give this album a listen.
