Release Notes:
ManchesterÆs buzz band, Everything Everything are due to release their
debut album this August, but before they let it all hang out, theyÆve
decided to provide some titillation in the form of their new single,
æSchoolinÆ.
Not to judge a book by its cover (or record by its title in this case),
but æSchoolinÆ sounds more like the lead track off a Nelly album and to
be fair, minus the crude misogyny, this track seems to nod wryly in the
direction of that early naughties US hip hop sound.
Opening with cute whistles, which are quickly usurped by a huge
hydraulic bass bounce, æSchoolinÆ is a complete deviation from the grey
industrial Manchester landscape, which has spawned EE. This alone is
refreshing but the song itself could easily work as the sound track to
a chopper being casually pedalled along a Californian beachfront.
Instrumentally, æSchoolinÆ is probably more hip pop that hip hop;
guitars become more notable in the chorus which bond it closely to
quintessential indie. But rest assured, æSchoolinÆ is not your average
indie record. Rolling up on 21-inch rims, itÆs an accomplished and
cheeky little number and if weÆre lucky enough to see any sun this
summer, æSchoolinÆ might just be the soundtrack to the countryÆs
barbeques this summer.
