Fission
Not often do you find a band who has experienced success yet still has the desire to explore new sonic directions. Los Angeles' Film School, a band who released two critically acclaimed album on Beggars Banquet, played sold out shows across Britain with Mercury Prize nominees British Sea Power, toured Europe with The National, headlined multiple North American tours, and was hand-picked by UK legends Swervedriver to open their 2008 North American reunion tour, felt like mixing things up a bit this time around. <b>Fission</b> is an album of clarity, energy, and change. One of the most notable differences on this album is the more prominent vocal presence of bassist Lorelei Plotczyk. The result is a dynamic mix of songwriting by Bertens, Plotczyk and Ruck with help from guitarist Dave Dupuis and drummer James Smith.
