[video] Unschooling – Excommunicated

Today, France’s Unschooling share the third and final single “Excommunicated” from their debut album New World Artifacts, which is out October 6 via Bad Vibrations (the band already teased us with “Brand New Storm” and “Ribbon Road” a bit earlier). It is a very interesting and different song from the group and is probably their best one yet.

Nearly 7 minutes long, it’s a raw and free-form experimental piece that goes far beyond the usual post-punk more into the territory of dark ambient/drone, providing the listener with some A+ class haunting material. Eerie ghosts footage as a music video is very appropriate here!

Last month France’s Unschooling announced their new LP New World Artifacts which will be out on October 6 via Bad Vibrations Records. The band already teased us with “Brand New Storm”, and now we are getting another song, “Ribbon Road”. It’s an inventive free-form avant-jazz stomper, soaked in art punk grooves and sensibilities.

The single is accompanied by the music video (made by Luisa Loreal and Vincent Fevrier) and is led by two basses, two drums and guitars in unison with saxophones recorded in collaboration with Levi Gillis.

Unschooling have announced their new album New World Artifacts which will be out October 6 via Bad Vibrations Records.

Today they share the first taste of it via the lead single “Brand New Storm”, a cool slice of inventive and experimental oddball post-punk, which is paired with the bizarre and fun music video, created by Clothilde Evide.

On the new single, lead vocalist Vincent Fevrier said, “Brand New Storm is a quintessential ‘stop and smell the flowers’ kind of track taken from New World Artifacts. The ordinary pop structure denotes a soft deluge of guitars, saxophone and organ overdubs but the whole thing is no less melodic. It’s a real return to the roots of my twee pop influences. The track has a nostalgic vibe which is accentuated by a rather lo-fi recording which is a very deliberate act. Brand New Storm is an invitation to let go despite the ups and downs of a romantic relationship, the fear of commitment. A call to step into the unknown”.
