Leeds based pop noir quartet English Teacher delve into bleak post-punk on their new single R&B. Lead singer Lily Fontaine can't get over the fact that her voice isn't suited for that particular genre, but it is actually a blessing in disguise, because her almost spoken phrasing fits like a glove with the upfront bass, in-your-face drums and shimmering guitar. Anger is always a fertile base for creating a memorable tune and this one ticks all the boxes. It is a track from their debut album This Could Be Texas, due for release on April 12. The video was directed by Sarah Oglesby.
This Could Be Texas is released via Island Records (vinyl, CD, digital). It is available for pre-order here.
