Charm School Slow Jam On Without a Doubt
Imagine if Interpol weren’t so pretentious, choosing to revel in the pop side of their craft rather than push for some overly-emotive brand of post-punk. If you’ve got that sound in your mind, you’ve got the feel of the newest Charm School single, dwelling in the ethereal slowness the genre offers. At times, it seems like a bold croon, allowing the vocals to creep around behind the guitars, and in doing so, you get to kind of spin yourself about, twirling about with the crisp ring before it erupts into cacophony. Steadied and bold, this track hits the right spots; look for Debt Forever on January 24th via Surprise Mind.
