Brighton quartet School Disco offer up brooding single “Happen,” weaving a hypnotic blend of prog, psychedelic rock and krautrock.
With minimal yet emotionally intense lyrics, the track moves through a sprawling soundscape of fuzzy guitars and driving beats to push the band’s sonic signature into a darker but more meditative space.
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”
Showcasing the band’s musical diversity and the restless creativity that drives them, the striking track moves from the high-octane style into a experimental, textured feel to mark a new chapter of captivating and immersive music from the four-piece.
