PopMatters feature: “Indie-Rock Stripes”


As Lannon explains the creative process behind Film School’s most recent album, I get a sense of the band’s flexible songwriting dynamic: ” ‘11:11’ and ‘On and On’ - those songs were done as jams all at once. ‘Sick of the Shame’ was an idea Krayg had on guitar and then I put all this electronic shit behind it. ‘Pitfalls’ was a loop I had on my pedal, and we built it around that. ‘Like You Know’ started off as a country jam Justin was playing on acoustic, and we made it a ballad with heavy droning guitars over it. I tend to come up with stuff in the moment when all five of us are jamming or in my studio all alone. Justin and Krayg will have a chord progression. They’ll bring it in to see if it works.”
