Following on from the release of their highly-praised sophomore LP 'Heads Still Here' in 2021, Brighton-based outfit School Disco are back once again to deliver their rousing new album 'Denton Rock'.
Featuring the previously shared outings 'Feelings Coming', 'Through Dimensions', and 'Victory Day', this new nine-track collection makes for an incredibly rich and driven listen. Capturing more of that broad and anthemic psych-rock aesthetic they have developed over the years, 'Denton Rock' continues to cement the four-piece as one of the more innovative names doing the rounds right now.
Speaking about the new record, the band's Rory Lethbridge said, "'Denton Rock’ is an album I'm super proud of, with a whole new line-up we really got into a groove playing new songs and reimagining old ones live. We booked out a studio in Manchester that our friends have and we managed to get down 90% of the album in 3 days. We all really hit a groove and it was such a fun creative process with everyone down to get experimental and use the studios as a big playground. Some songs we had mastered before the studio, and some songs we finished in the studio by playing around and jamming in a similar fashion to what we do live.
"I also reached out to a few friends and guests that really elevate the album with their contributions - Eva Lunny on harp adds such depth and Brennan Harvey's Alto Sax on Crying Beasts adds more for me than any guitar would. I feel we really took the DIY aesthetic that our first two albums have and elevated it further."
