The School, one of the most beloved, sophisticated, and defining bands on Elefant Records, is breaking their silence. This 2026, they are not only returning to the stage with exclusive performances at Paris Popfest and Málaga Popfest, but they are also bringing back two of their most iconic albums. After years of being out of print and turning into genuine collector's items, they are finally available on vinyl again:
"Reading Too Much Into Things Like Everything": returning pressed on a beautiful and elegant white vinyl. "Wasting Away And Wondering": reclaiming all its pop brilliance on a classic, timeless black vinyl.
Led by Liz Hunt, the Cardiff outfit perfected a magical formula: reviving the legacy of Phil Spector's wall of sound, the charm of 60s girl groups, and the luminous melancholy of Camera Obscura or Belle And Sebastian. These reissues are not just a look back at the past, but a fresh opportunity to enjoy albums overflowing with incredible orchestral arrangements, elegant horn sections, and bittersweet choruses.
