Marrying the pristine jangle of electric 12-string guitars with nervy, hooky songs, Chime School conjure a unique and instantly recognizable form of indie pop, rooted in the buoyant, driving pulse of their 1980’s and 90’s forebearers, while still locked in a kaleidoscopic stare with the genre’s 1960’s originators. Guided by multi-instrumentalist Andy Pastalaniec (whose CV reads almost like a “best-of list” of Bay Area groups), and bolstered by a live unit that includes stalwarts Phil Lantz, Josh Miller, and Garett Goddard, Chime School have brought their punchy brand of sparkling California indie pop to the US, UK, and Europe, appearing at festivals like the Paris Popfest, Madrid Popfest, Glas-Goes Pop, and Bazooka Fest along the way. If you’re a fan of irresistible pop hooks and guitars that sound like they’re dipped in gold, stop here!
