Film School - Film School (2006)



The first thing that really struck me about Film School's sound was how mature and thoughtful it was. It was as if these guys really knew and felt what they were doing and was something you really wouldn't expect from a bands debut. Something you might call a breath of fresh air, in a genre seemingly dominated with jumpy singalong bands. To me the sound was atmospheric, distant, slighlty ruffled and almost haunting. A bit like what it must sound like listening to them gig through a wooden door. This is the music of a really promising band, and i'm sorry if that sounds patronising, but if The Editors or Interpol are anything to go by expect really big things from Film School. Not that they sound too much like the above bands, but don't get me started on possible influences or we'll be here all day!
