Music to forget oneself and music to reflect meet in very few places. In some weddings in England. in some Parisian salons late at night. In some night clubs at the edge of the highway, maybe. It is all the more exhilarating to see the emergence of a group like School Daze in the French musical landscape, now honed around the duet of Seb & Tigrou. Not interested in genre quarrels and underground poses, School Daze has set itself the goal of creating popular but not populist, danceable and moving music, cerebral and futile, as an ultimate snub to an era that aims to simplification of social and artistic messages. The music of School Daze looks as much on baggy England as on the pioneers of the electronic music of Chicago and Detroit, all composed with a pop writing that betrays the long hours spent listening to indie music in their teenage rooms.
