HighSchool return with new track, "149"
Post-punk duo HighSchool have re-emerged with their latest single, "149", marking their first new music since the release of last year's EP Accelerator.
“‘149’ is about slow, teenage suburban summers - long, dry days, sprinklers on cracked lawns, the smell of cut grass and cheap beer, halogen-lit tennis courts and supermarket car parks. Nothing to do but kick rocks, ride your bike, hang at the skatepark or by the pool,” Rory Trobbiani and Luke Scott share of the new track.
“You end up at a shit house party you weren’t invited to, with the girl you’ve had a crush on all year - the one you thought never noticed you. Someone’s playing Benny Benassi on a light-up Bluetooth speaker. People spill onto the porch, your breath tastes like warm wine from a sack. Maybe you hold hands or she kisses you. ‘149’ is a brief moment in the noise, knowing it won’t last. And that’s the point.”
"149" is out now.
