Driven By Data

Songies

Following up their *very* well-received 2021 self-titled debut album, Chime School are back with more perfect pop, this time on the most pop of formats, the 7" single. "Coming To Your Town" was recorded while sick with COVID and rather fittingly is a feverish attempt to describe the reactionary political moment that seemed to infect the Bay Area during the pandemic. Leave it to Chime School to pen a classic 12-string jangle pop tune about the breakdown of civil society. It's not all cats and motorbikes chez Chime School! On the flip side we have the band's lovely Brighter/Field Mice-esque take of Buzzcocks' "Love You More." Originally released on the Oakland Weekender Buzzcocks covers cassette, it's available on vinyl here for the first time.

Counterweight

An Ideas Man

Gina is about the dread of leaving your room in an uncomfortable living situation. Planning trips to the kitchen/bathroom around roommate schedules to avoid interaction. Being stuck in bed and incredibly bored.

Spring Breeding - Gina Sleeps All Day

Bend The Round

It Never Gave Me Anything describes a relationship between a person and an unwanted side of themselves. This side is so unlike how they want to be that they treat them as a separate entity, maybe even a person. It has always been there, ruining moments, talking to them and making sure that they never forget that it is present. A seemingly never ending list of things this "it" is responsible for is recited over a pulsating beat and bass riff that is both ominous and groovy at the same time. This paired with a wall of distorted guitars that show up in the bridges and choruses, creates a song that makes you question what mood the song leaves you with. As is typical of the band, the song plays with what emotion, as well as which genre, it evokes.

Lyrics:

You…
You and I
We look up
To the same sky

When it’s dark
And we need light
We just close our eyes
And we’ll meet where dreams collide

Here we can watch the birds fly by 
Underneath the clear blue skies
Lying here, just you and i

You give me hope
You make me float
Like the clouds 

You make me smile
Can we stay a while
In this dream 
Our hearts can fly

Now we can watch the stars at night
Shimmering across the sky
Shining bright for you and i

the churchhill garden
