Tunabunny, The School, Monsoon
Saturday, June 8 @ Caledonia Lounge
Cardiff, Wales twee-pop collective The School is touring the United States for the first time in its young life; with the help of noted local pop junkie and HHBTM label head Mike Turner, the group brings its sunny stuff to the Caledonia Lounge on Saturday. Fans of other UK genre standouts like Belle & Sebastian and Camera Obscura will find much to love in The School's sugary sound, where aching melody and simple orchestral instrumentation reveal fleeting glimpses of sadness in much the same way as the American pop of the 1950s and '60s. There's not much new here, but sometimes familiarity breeds contentment.
