Biography

Birmingham, United Kingdom

Bringing the sunny Balearic sounds of summer and the icy kosmiche sounds of winter to a venue near you, this Birmingham two-piece are maximalist and minimalist all at once. But in a good way. With their debut EP, ‘Ranting & Raving’, to be released on Tirk (Fujiya & Miyagi, Architeq) in July, Free School have been putting together a live show to win the hearts and minds of…well, people like you. Yes, you. Taking retro-futurist disco as a starting point, Free School have fused together electro, house, Balearic, and kosmiche to arrive at “a new sound…one that’s never been heard before…”.* They may or may not be wearing masks of lamb.**

Compared to Caribou, Orbital and Lindstrom. Think Hot Chip. Think Four Tet. Think Pet Shop Boys. The first and latter without the vocals. The middle one with more oomph. Fewer men than the first. More men than the middle one.

*Quote not actually said in reference to Free School. But it does feature in one of their songs, so the point stands.

**Not actual lamb. They’re made of some sort of rubber/latex composite. But they look like lamb, so the point stands.
