Chime School announce new album 'The Boy Who Ran The Paisley Hotel'
San Francisco jangle pop act Chime School will deliver their sophomore album this summer.
Announced today, The Boy Who Ran The Paisley Hotel is set for an August 23 release via Slumberland Records. The 11-track album was recorded by vocalist Andy Pastalaniec in their home studio. The first single from the album titled “Give Your Heart Away” comes with a music video directed by Britta Leijonflycht, which can be seen below.
Pastalaniec said this about the new song:
“Photography is another medium that informs what I do musically. The song is ‘framed’ by an out-of-time intro and outro; there’s a lyric about a camera lens opening to another time and place; it’s meant to capture a distant moment in time. Perhaps a moment in one’s younger years, when you spent a bit too much directionless time out and about in the bars at night…”
