On the show this time, it’s the Mercury Prize winning indie-rock of English band, English Teacher.

English Teacher is an English Band from Leeds and Lancashire - both in the north of England and about 2 hours apart. They sort of re-formed from an earlier version of the band in 2020, and released the single “R&B” featuring a shout out to a certain radio station in Seattle.  The buzz from that got them some radio play, and they eventually released their first EP Polyawkward in 2022.  Their sound has gelled into an original blend of mathy punk, spoken word, and sweeping noise-pop orchestration, in support of the mesmerizing voice of singer Lily Fontaine.

Recorded September 27th, 2024

1. This Could Be Texas
2. Nearly Daffodils
3. Broken Biscuits
4. You Blister My Paint
5. R&B
6. Albert Road
