Film School - AlwaysNever (Amazing Grease, 2003)

Rating: 6 sometimes oftens out of 10

This nice, pleasant EP of music by Film School is what the kids might call "post rock". I guess. Or I could be talking out of my ass. Either way, it isn’t groundbreaking and it probably won’t blow you away, but it’s a good listen that I would recommend. Film School is basically the work of Krayg Burton, with a rotating cast of folks that help out in the way additional musicians tend to help out. Mellow without ever becoming boring (but let’s face it, if you get bored just listening to an EP of any band then that’s a sure sign that something is wrong), this would make a great record to go to sleep to, and that isn't meant as the insult it sounds like. For some reason the comparison that comes to mind when I listen to Film School is Jim Yoshi Pile Up mixed with some low key shoegazer stuff. Another great thing about this short player is that it’s a grower – it might not impress you terribly on the first listen, but the more you hear it the more you want to.
