Following on from their excellent, jangle-tastic 2021 self-titled debut, Chime School's new album "The Boy Who Ran The Paisley Hotel" is as stellar as we could have hoped for — deeper, richer and evolved in every way. While still joyfully packed with janglepop gems, "Paisley Hotel" takes a turn toward the winsome melancholy of groups like East Village, The Go-Betweens, and The Loft, and represents a leap forward in production, composition and arrangement.

I do my own stunts (I do my own)
I do my own stunts (I do my own)
Anything you want, yeah, anyone
Everything you dream
Think it's all pretend now 'til you start
Picking up your feet
All those miles behind you
Are you tired of landing on your knees?
It's a risk for sure, I might be sore
Anything you dream
I do my own stunts (I do my own)
I think I'm sight impaired
I would be careful, exiting this beat
Marching on without me
Do you think that I made the scene?
Think I'm still on fire, but when I look, I'm cool as I could be
Think it's all pretend, now everything
Anything you dream
I do my own stunts, (I do my own)

By motorbike or plane
You need extreme motion
To get through these days
By boat or bike or plane
You need extreme motion
Check me out

Do you keep in mind, before we start
Crashing in your dreams?
You should be highly paid, union made
And safer with the beat

By motorbike or plane
You need extreme motion
To get through these days
By boat or bike or plane
You need extreme motion
Make it look so easy, make it look so easy
'Cause when the birds fly, they don't need a reason
Make it look so easy, make it look so easy
'Cause when the birds fly, they don't need a reason

Sick and tired of inaction to pending doom
You've got a gun to your head, but err the side of caution
Smoking tires on the asphalt gets to you
You see me painted in red
I'm wide awake, not falling
Ripping lines at the afters, we're leaving soon
Believe you're already dead
You're wide awake, not falling

Sans Limites

Sans Limites (feat. Laetitia Sadier)

Slumberland began operations in 1989, inspired by such musical happenings as C-86, early Creation, Sarah, Postcard, and the UK post-punk indie label scene. Since then we've covered a lot of territory, from punk to lofi noise to shoegaze and of course pop, releasing records from bands like The Aislers Set, Boyracer, Stereolab, Rocketship, Lorelei, The Ropers, The Saturday People and Black Tambourine.

By the mid 2000s we were starting to see a resurgence of interest in guitar pop and the start of the ongoing vinyl revival: the perfect environment for Slumberland! We launched into our latest phase of activity with as string of classic releases from The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Crystal Stilts, Frankie Rose, Veronica Falls, Allo Darlin', Joanna Gruesome and so many more.

2018 is our twenty-ninth year we are still going strong, ploughing our own furrow and bringing you unique, genre-defining (and genre-defying!) releases from bands like Smokescreens, Tony Molina, Papercuts, Business of Dreams, Peel Dream Magazine, D.A. Stern, The Spook School, Frankie Rose, Young Guv, Terry Malts and many, many more. As always, we operate entirely outside of the echo chamber of trends, fashion and phoney hipness. Slumberland bands are independent in the best way possible -- making music devoid of bullshit and true to their own voices, regardless of current popular taste.
