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

school-94-like-you-cascine-sweden

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.

Ski Lodge are back with "Just To Be Like You" and as the cliche goes, contrary to the view from the artwork's window, all we see though ours is rain and we're yet again yearning for summer through the medium of music.

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.

Notably friends with other South coast natives such as YRRS & 1FTP favs BAYY, Home School - by the looks of things anyway - is a relatively new project from Jack Kaye and co, who seem to have captured our attention with their terrifically catchy pop-hit "Be Cool".

The artist is Bazooka. The track is "I Want To Fuck All The Girls In My School", which is totally outrageous, right? Keep reading though...

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.

We're exactly halfway through the year. Here's our selection of the best tracks... So far

And so, in no particular order, here's our pick of the 12 best tracks of the year so far. Feel free to disagree with us on in the comments below, or over on Twitter, here.

We get lots of emails consisting of demos, amateur videos and so on, as every other site does. However, it's very hard to come across someone worthy of exposure and praise. Not in Theme Park's case though, they rolled into our inbox from one of our more trusted industry friends and immediately blew us away.

The bands debut double A side, "Wax/A Mountain We Love" will be out via ParadYse (an imprint on Transgressive Records) on August 29. They will also play their first show, two days later at The Lexington, London.

Theme Park have the potential to go far if they can keep up their infectious melodies and captivating vocals. We need to know more though. So far all we know is they're a four piece from London, twins Miles & Marcus Haughton, Louis Bhose and Oscar Manthorpe and they formed in early 2011. Because of this we took matters into our own hands, here's what they told us last week.

We aren't going to lie; it's been probably the most infuriating, frustrating and damn right drawn-out summer in recent years and we've struggled to keep the site afloat. Luckily, we're alive and kicking and rather than publish June, July and August Certified New Mixtapes; we decided to minimise our workload and compile the summer's best tracks into one, easy to stream, easy to download mixtape.
