English Teacher by Sophie Jouvenaar
English Teacher play the Stag & Dagger Festival in Glasgow later this month.
English Teacher have premiered their new single Good Grief.
“The track follows the love story of Track and Trace as they navigate their relationship through 2020,” the band say. “It’s about the virtual dates, the TikTok dances, the Karens in supermarkets and the obscene levels of potentially avoidable suffering, once again, orchestrated by those at the top.”
This succeeds the summer single Wallace, when the Leeds group were a part of Live4ever’s Presents series; “Named for Wallace Hartley, leader of said band and apparently something of a folk hero in the hometown he shares with Lily Fontaine,” our review reads.
“They see parallels in the futility of Hartley’s last moments, and its later veneration, with the political direction that hometown has found itself heading in since the Brexit vote in 2016. Wallace tells that story with a wide lens and exasperated but charming unpredictability.”
