Cover: The School do The Left Banke
One of the lovely things about indiepop is how timeless much of it is. At times it’s difficult to assess exactly when a song comes from just by listening to it. Case in point is The School’s cover of The Left Banke’s And Suddenly. Now obviously if you’re already familiar with The Left Banke, this exercise is rendered rather meaningless. I knew the song was a cover from when the band played it at Indietracks, but I had no idea it dated back to 1967. A song 42 years old that sounds like it could one of The School’s own creations.
Searching For The Now 6 is out now on Slumberland Records. Vinyl only, of course.
I love Left Banke but I must admit that this cover sounds better than the original version. Can’t wait to get the vinyl.
