Swedish dream-pop four-piece School rename themselves School '94, sign to Cascine for debut EP.

Having said that, latest track and debut EP title track, "Like You", isn't as much dream-pop, as it is shimmering indie-pop with some 80's new wave influences floating to the surface. Alice Botéus is on point as always with crisp melancholic vocals that really draw your attention.

Watch School's debut video for their charming single "SoLong"

School's "SoLong" has been around for over seven months now, so a 'UK' release seemed a bit odd, especially when you could buy it previously (I know, the Internet right?). But we know what it actually means, and that is a new press release and a refreshed image (and more people are seemingly 'into it', so good job team), but, more importantly, things such as a video, which is always nice to see.

Gothenburg guitar-popper's School return with latest track "Head Over Here".

The Swedish jangle-pop maestros have another gem on their hands with latest track "Head Over Here" and we fully expect more to follow from this one.

Swedish four-piece School stroll into the class of 2014 with "SoLong", a guitar-pop debut worth remembering....

I'll admit, this isn't what I expected. Initial thoughts were: Scandinavian + female soloist and voila, you get another ubiquitous export for some 'tastemakers' to hype up. Happily, that turns out to be wrong, quite wrong in fact, as School's debut single "So Long" is a much more interesting prospect altogether.
