Film School NEW LINE UP NEW ALBUM NEW TOUR DATES 29 Aug 2007

"Hideout" their second full length for Beggars Banquet hits stores September 11th. Check out the MP3 for "Lectric" (track 2) here.

Film School is now Greg Bertens (vocals, guitar), Dave Dupuis (guitar), Lorelei Plotczyk (bass, vocals),
Jason Ruck (keyboards) and James Smith (drums).

"Hideout" was written largely in Greg Bertens’ Los Angeles apartment, recorded in both LA and San Francisco
studios with engineer Dan Long, mixed by Phil Ek (Built to Spill, Band of Horses, the Shins, Stephen Malkmus),
and produced by Bertens. Hideout builds on the band’s pretty, richly textured sound by emphasizing powerful
rhythms and beautiful melodies that take the songwriting to a new level. Bertens signature vocal delivery shows
more breadth on this release, and evokes a plaintive longing that is magnified by the addition of female voices,
courtesy of bassist Lorelei Plotcyzk, and guest vocalists Tracy Uba (Timonium) and Leah Piehl. Other guest
musicians loaning their talents to the album are Colm O’Ciosoig and Paul Wilson.

Some early comments are in, and people are TOTALLY digging "Hideout".....

"The new Film School is simply awesome. It's not over the top, crowded or forced in any way, on any track.
The band doesn't necessarily leave their shoegazey/post-punk roots behind. Instead, Greg Bertens sculpts
Hideout into a more dynamic and thicker sounding album with blissed-out guitars and keys swooping in
exactly when they need to." - LITTLE RADIO

"Someone’s been listening to The Jesus and Mary Chain. Film School must have had a goth-shoegaze epiphany,
because from beginning to end, Hideout is layered, dark pop bliss. It’s quite reassuring to know that a genre
that’s been exploited to the bone can still come out this sick." - XLR8R.COM
