Blending post-punk and shoegaze influences into a lush and surprisingly versatile style, Film School have carved their own path during their decades-long career. The band mixed these styles deftly on 2006's Film School, then leaned into dream pop on 2007's Hideout and electronic sounds on 2010's Fission. After reuniting in the late 2010s, their fusion of all these styles sounded more relevant than ever on albums like 2018's Bright to Death and 2023's Field, which emphasized the psychedelic undercurrents of Film School's music.
