Preston School Of Industry - 'Falling Away' (Domino)
4/5
By: Toby L
The Preston School Of Industry have already shown themselves to be competent in their ability of merging the lo-fi tendencies of US slacker rock with the simple yet memorable tunes that earnt Pavement such a reputation... Wait a sec - thought this sounded familiar! Indeed, the Industry is fully operational, thanks to the addition of ex-Pavement star, the intriguingly-titled Spiral Stairs.
Incidentally, 'Falling Away' is a truly sumptuous record, fully of satisfying harmonies, plucky guitar, downtrodden bass and a simple, yet enchanting chorus which you'll quite possibly lose yourself to. The fact that Stairs is still able to help weave such fine music together is a most reassuring activity, proving that life doesn't end at the departure of a Malkmus here and there.
