Band: ENGLISH TEACHER
Who: Fast up-and-coming indies
from Leeds, UK

NME said: “A vital voice from the heart of UK guitar music. The band have
swiftly become one of the most promising new British prospects of the last few
years, with songs that find humour and relief in the strange world around us.”

Interview with NME right here.

Album: This Could Be Texas
Out on April 12. Pre-order info here.

The band dropped another piece, single #5, named R&B.

Lily Fontaine “Decision paralysis is an ache that has murmured in me through sitting
on smaller fences, through to questioning my theology, my sexuality, my career and so on. Watching Jaco Van Dormael’s incredible sci-fi/fantasy Mr Nobody put the cause and effect of this issue into perspective; my life has been consistent in its inconsistency. 12 different houses across the country and mixed-race I’ve always been a bit in-between and I think that’s where this song, and a lot of the songs we’re due to release, come from.”

R&B is another wayward slice of ET pop intensity. It starts a bit like a Dry Cleaning track with a rigid bass riff and Fontaine‘s spoken word vocals, but turns quickly into a strenuous stormer fueled with schizo guitar frenzy, jittery drumming and Fontaine‘s feverish impact.

Wake-up people,
there’s a lot to
learn here.

All 5 singles

Last week ET played in Brugge, Belgium supporting Dublin‘s stellar Sprints. After a couple
of songs you just knew/heard/felt that English Teacher is gonna be huge just like Sprints‘ frontwoman Karla Chubb told the crowd afterward.
