About English Teacher
The four-piece have graced the covers of indie bibles NME, DORK and So Young and bagged lead features and shoots in the print editions of British Vogue, DIY, Wonderland and CLASH. Praise has also easily flowed from critics at the broadsheets including The Guardian, The Observer, The Independent, The Times, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, Financial Times, The New York Times, The Evening Standard and TIME Magazine.
The cross-cultural appeal of the group has seen them invited into BBC 6 Music, Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio X for coveted live sessions. Every single from the album has seen relentless A-Listing on BBC 6 Music (Steve Lamacq, Lauren Laverne, Jamz Supernova, Craig Charles) and regular spins on Radio 1 (Jack Saunders, Gemma Bradley), Radio 2 (Jo Whiley), Radio X (John Kennedy) and Apple Music (Elton John). On the live circuit the group’s last UK headline tour was completely sold-out, in addition to notable debut slots at SXSW and Glastonbury.
Heralding the sound of a band inhabiting a sonic identity all their own, This Could Be Texas both begins and ends with references to nineties touchpoints - melodic, college rock-worthy guitars on opener ‘Albatross’, and a huge arena-worthy climax to the anthemic ‘Albert Road’. In between, there is room for everything from the subtle, experimental landscape changes of ‘Not Everybody Gets To Go To Space’, to the more grounded, intimate likes of ‘Broken Biscuits’ and ‘Nearly Daffodils’. The pace is forever shifting as they move smoothly through the gears; rave-reviewed singles ‘The World’s Biggest Paving Slab’ and the reworked ‘R&B’ have a very different feel to something like the soaring balladry of ‘You Blister My Paint’, but both have a similar sort of searing energy in common that encompasses the entire record.
English Teacher’s This Could Be Texas is out now via Island Records. The band are on tour in November.
