CMU Approved
Approved: Ballet School
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 24 June 2014
Following a series of very good singles and EPs over the last couple of years, dream-pop trio Ballet School have announced that they will release their debut album, ‘The Dew Lasts An Hour’, through Bella Union on 1 Sep.
Discussing the sound of the record, vocalist Rosie Blair says: “We’re not a synth band, we’re a guitar band, but one that’s trying to push the boundaries of the traditional set up. We write pop songs. I never thought pop music was a lower form of art. We actively try to play with the model of mainstream pop against what indie is supposed to be and find our own new form. And though I love laptop pop, it’s vital that people witness our energy, that punk lust, when we play live”.
