Hello all
A bit slow today I realise but life is a bitch and then you die. You must know that by now.
So who the hell are
School of Language?
Don't ask me.
No,
seriously. Someone told me I need to get listening to them if I want to even consider myself
'on the pulse' of what is going on in the music scene these days.
Well if this is the pulse I'd rather it was
dead.
Fuck!!
OK, they aren't the
worst or even close to the worst I've heard but that doesn't save them from being
pretty damn boring in my book.
this whole 'Indie' thing is a bit overrated it seems.
Didn't it used to just mean an Independent artist or label release?
Now it brings with it
the assumption of some genre that smacks of 'street/grit-rock, bohemian, different/original style, pretentiousness, old fashioned
or conversely so modern no one dare understand it, not forgetting pretentiousness...oh and Pseudo Avant-Garde/Art-pop/art-crap and erm..pretentious waffle - did I mention that?'
Crap.
That's what it has become:
Crap.![](http://web.archive.org./web/20170702033259im_/http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8OE9yr2EPsk/R5ZYUeMvi1I/AAAAAAAAAps/wRms9dUcvPE/s400/seafromshore.jpg)
Let me say a few words on this actual album though instead of this general diatribe on the Indie scene...
The album opens with a very distinctive and refreshing concoction. Vocal percussion you might call it. I love it. voices arranged in a way that really draws you in...just a layered effect of the words 'ooh and aah' hehe no really!) and it works bloody well!
The song lifts off from that promising start and it
really rocks.
Track two is erm...well...much the same with a lower tempo but it
does have the same track title albeit 'part 2'.
The next track is
poetic justice in motion with it being titled 'disappointment '99'
The disappointment, for me, is the rest of it from there...a few irritating tracks with irritating drums and
loud parts that don't deserve to be, quiet parts that are just plain boring and a general dragging sensation throughout.
There is an overall suggestion of some kind of avant-garde/arty farty-ness.
I might be wrong but you decide for yourself. Maybe you like
Arty Farty Indie?
Maybe I should have been kinder as this is their first album.
Fuck that.
They should try harder eh?
:)
