The Los Angeles based group FILM SCHOOL have been indie shoegaze stalwarts since their formation in 2001. After two decades and a handful of line-up changes, their extensive discography presents a dynamically textural, lush psychedelic rock that has featured guest appearances by members of Pavement and My Bloody Valentine among others. 2021’s LP „We Weren’t Here“ was hailed for its dense instrumental blanket, where unrelenting hi-hats and heavy kicks exist alongside dreamy drone guitar.

This propulsive nature permeates their new album „Field“, released on Felte Records August 25, 2023. With comparisons to Slowdive and Catherine Wheel, Field cements Film School as a distinct, dominant force in the shoegaze scene. Soaked in an emotionally open, imaginative atmosphere, the album is both singular and expansive, and leaves the door open for a constantly evolving interpretation.

Film School have never confined themselves to the rigidity of specifics, and it’s on „Field“ that they urge us to look beyond the binary of certainty, and to take a second look.
