INFO


"Album no. 5?! Have we really been around that long?" asks Johannes Genard. "I feel like I'm only just starting to get how it all works."
When their fourth album, 'Things That Don't Go Right' was ignominiousl y cut short by the pandemic in March '20, Genard turned around and started writi ng the next one. "If you don't keep plodding ahead, then you've already given up ," he says. The group's subsequent plodding quickly evolved into a collection of 13 songs infused with energy, emotion, playful exuberance and plenty of signatu re School is Cool elements.

Despite the new album's name - Brittle Dr eam - the atmosphere within the group is better than ever. "After Matthias Dille n, our drummer since the very beginning left the group, Niels Meukens has seamle ssly slipped into the role and is now fully acclimatized. It's been awe-inspirin g to witness his deep musical insight firsthand, not to mention his willingness to take on a new project in such a short timeframe," says Johannes. "His contrib ution to this album was massive!"

School is Cool's fourth - and, as i t turned out, aptly named - album, 'Things That Don't Go Right' hit the airwaves in 2020. After that, things actually did start to go in the right direction for the group. And following the release of hit singles like 'Close' and 'On the Ha lfway Line', the time is ripe for a new album.

Musically, the album b reaks new ground while remaining true to that unique School is Cool sound we all know and love.
