050 - Film School [Alternative/Shoegaze]: May 5th at Empty Bottle

FILM SCHOOL returns in May 2019 for an east coast headlining tour with supporting act MINT FIELD and a new EP. This on the heals of the September 2018 release 'Bright to Death', their fifth album and first full-length LP since 2010’s ‘Fission'. Recorded over 8 days in November 2017 on the outskirts of Joshua Tree, this luminescent collection of 11 songs is the finest showcase yet for the band’s signature layered sonic tones, psychedelic atmospheres, and seductive melodies. The album gets its title from text on an artwork singer and guitarist Greg Bertens had seen, part of an exhibit by Chinese students on the topic of global warming. “Bright to death” popped into his head as the band was recording in sun-blistered Joshua Tree, and it stuck. In addition to four members of the original lineup, the album features drummer Adam Wade(Shudder to Think, Jawbox) on several songs, and was mixed by Dan Long at Headwest Studios and mastered by David Gardner at Infrasonic Sound. Featured Song Name: Go (But Not Too Far)
