School Disco kickstart a new chapter with their single 'Happen'
Recorded live with minimal overdubs, the track inaugurates a darker phase.
School Disco have released their new single 'Happen' via Krautpop!.
The Brighton quartet - who've shared stages with the likes of Wolf Alice, Lime Garden and Froth – recorded at Farm Road Studios with engineering from Jake Smallwood alongside the band’s Rory Lethbridge, and mastered by Harry Hayes (School Disco, Roebucks).
Vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Rory Lethbridge says: "Happen was the first track written in a new batch of songs we had put together. The bones of it were written and recorded in a day while me and Harry were jamming at Studio Nunn.
"We wrote and recorded a song specifically for a show we were doing for Andy at Love Thy Neighbour. He does a weekend of gigs normally in January called Triptych, and we were headlining one of the nights. What makes these nights fun is that he does a lathe cut for each night. We didn’t have anything we could use for it so we had to come up with something new. ‘Happen’ was that.
"It also felt like it was the line in the sand between Denton Rock and whatever we were going to do next the song changed a bit between the initial lathe cut and this version but it felt like the start of a new chapter."
