Chime School Announce the Boy Who Ran the Paisley Hotel

If you’re like me, constantly fawning over those jingle-jangle guitar sounds, you already know the Chime School; they’ve been one of the preeminent bands of the last several years, with a great LP and 7″ already under their belt. Today, we bring you the news that they’ll be releasing The Boy Who Ran the Paisley Hotel this August (8.23) via Slumberland Records. Our first listen begins with a slight stutter, giving you a 10 second tease before the song immediately bounds off into spring joyousness. For me, I think Andy Pastalaniec’s vocals are the winner on this single, using these slight little shifts that unfold the melody before the listener’s ears; listen to the chorus of “give your heart away/slowly to everyone,” offering this subtle twist just before punching out with a more punctuated delivery. A master craftsman of the jangle sound, Andy and Chime School are ready to deliver a knockout LP when Summer draws to a close.
