The Spook School: "We recorded with MJ from Hookworms, watched lots of otter videos on YouTube"

When we were asking bands in the lead up to Christmas whose new album they were most looking forward to in 2018, well, almost everyone said Arctic Monkeys. A few didn’t, though - and among those, Glaswegians The Spook School came up again and again.

Thankfully we don’t have long to wait for their third effort, as - depending on when you’re reading this - new full-length 'Could It Be Different?' is either out now or Very Soon Indeed. Niall, Anna, Adam and Nye fill us in on all the goss. Nice one.

Hey Spook School, how are you all today?

We are a little bit tired from living life to the max.

So you’re starting 2018 off with a new album - congrats. When did you write and record this one?

We recorded the album at the start of 2017, with the lovely MJ from Hookworms in his studio in Leeds. We watched lots of otter videos on YouTube. It was a lovely time.

What were you guys up to IRL during the record’s creation? Did you experience any important non-musical life events?

We were working in real life silly jobs. Anna was a museum person, Nye was a bank person, Niall was a bar person, and Adam was an actual awesome human being as a support worker.
