English Teacher unveil new single, "Mastermind Specialism"
Leeds indie sensations English Teacher have released their intricate new single, "Mastermind Specialism", which is an examination of decision paralysis.
Speaking ahead of their introspective latest release, front woman Lily Fontaine stated: “Decision paralysis is an ache that has murmured in me through sitting on smaller fences, through to questioning my theology, my sexuality, my career and so on. Watching Jaco Van Dormael’s incredible sci-fi/fantasy, Mr Nobody, put the cause and effect of this issue into perspective; my life has been consistent in its inconsistency. 12 different houses across the country and mixed-race, I’ve always been a bit in-between and I think that’s where this song, and a lot of the songs we’re due to release, come from."
Preceded by initial LP reveals "The World’s Biggest Paving Slab" and "Nearly Daffodils", the forthcoming release is set to follow on from the band's debut EP, Polyawkward.
Following their debut appearance on Later With...Jools Holland earlier this month, English Teacher’s momentum shows no signs of slowing, having also recently been announced as overall Independent Venue Week Artist Ambassador for 2024, following in the footsteps of Wolf Alice, Arlo Parks, Wet Leg & Beabadoobee.
"Mastermind Specialism" is out now via Island Records.
