With influences as wide as slowcore, Drain Gang-style hip hop and the alt-rock steps of Alex G, HighSchool’s forthcoming self-titled debut album (out Oct 31) sees the band further refine their signature sound as heard in their previously acclaimed EPs while simultaneously curating a new terrain that translates stages of life. Recorded between London, East Sussex and Melbourne with producers Ben Hillier (Blur, Depeche Mode) and Finn Billingham (RIP Magic, Sam Akpro, Sunken), meticulous in its construction, the album is an intoxicating delivery of 80s post-punk with reflections of alternative revivalism.
