Song Of The Day 12/02/2011: The School - I Want You Back

Some great modern tweepop today. Very stereotypical, breathy female vocals, with a lovely melody. Not clever, but very, very good. They've obviously been listening to a lot of the Beach Boy's earlier records, but then again who hasn't? This is the sort of song that makes me despair that more people don't know about this kind of band. It's so radio-friendly, and I've never played it to anyone who didn't enjoy it, but I really can't see The School ever getting remotely big.

The lead singer is also in the Loves, a band who are celebrating their last ever gig tomorrow with an indiepop all-dayer at the Lexington. Definitely drop in if you can - as well as the aforementioned headliners, there's an amazing, very long lineup of current indiepop bands. The School, Comet Gain, Pocketbooks and The Lovely Eggs will all be playing, and it's going to be fun.
