What we say

Rating: angry This record left our BRIAN D feeling angry.

The School do this whole Tracy Ullman 60's Motown ballad crossed with the theme from Eastenders. Considering the success of The Pipettes I can't really slag this 7" on Elefant too much apart from it's bland retro-isms. At least Kirsty Macoll had good songs. 'All I Wanna Do' suffers from one of the most crassly overemployed titles in the history of indie music (2nd only to "rollercoaster") I'd like to review the flip except I fear for my ears. Gah! Sicky candy floss pink. Great......

What the label says:

Debut release from Cardiff's The School. Limited edition PINK VINYL!
Produced by Ian Catt (SAINT ETIENNE, TREMBLING BLUE STARS) Combining indie-pop and the shimmering 60's - style production, THE SCHOOL play sunshine pop with moments of light and shadow, the kind of infectious, hyper-melodic pop you can simultaneously cry and dance to. Sophisticated, happy songs, with a little melancholy thrown in, inspired by THE BEACH BOYS (and the fantastic AMERICAN SPRING, produced by Brian Wilson), THE BEATLES, Phil Spector and girl bands from the 60's. & current bands with whom they share references and tastes, bands that also wrap their sweet melodies in wonderful keyboard and string arrangements, bands like BELLE & SEBASTIAN, SATURDAY LOOKS GOOD TO ME, CAMERA OBSCURA, Jim Noir, LUCKY SOUL & THE BRUNETTES
