Music to forget oneself and music to reflect meet in very few places. In some weddings in England. in some Parisian salons late at night. In some night clubs at the edge of the highway, maybe.
It is all the more exhilarating to see the emergence of a group like School Daze in the French musical landscape, now tightened around a duet formula. Not interested in genre quarrels and underground poses, School Daze has set itself the goal of creating popular but not populist, danceable and moving music, cerebral and futile, as an ultimate snub to an era that aims to simplification of social and artistic messages.
Composed over several years and recently mixed by Julien Briffaz (Bot'ox, Sabrina & Samantha), the two new titles of School Daze look as much on baggy England as on the pioneers of the electronic music of Chicago and Detroit, all composed with a pop writing that betrays the long hours spent listening to indie music in their teenage rooms. The duet expresses an ironic and political vision of the world, like the lyrics of One Love (One song one autodafe one song one fatwa one song), which takes an acid look at the prohibitions inherent to monotheistic religions.
These two titles announce a first album for 2020.
