With their UK headline tour starting at the end of the month, France’s Unschooling release their debut album New World Artifacts via Bad Vibrations.

A 5-piece from Rouen, France, their debut album arrives following their 2021 Random Acts of Total Control EP and 2019’s Defensive Designs tape. It’s a collection of lo-fi post-punk clocking in at 30 minutes, underscored with subtle pop melodies and structures but never far away from bouts of anarchic no-wave dissonance. Here, Unschooling claim loud and clear their desire to return to a sound which is less calibrated, less obvious. As they themselves write, “New World Artifacts is an ode to the unexpected, a tribute to many art rock bands who are always where you least expect them. It is both noisy and sensitive. Hot and cold at once.” Enjoy ‘Erase U’!
