Charm School

Scrappy, literary indie pop recorded with a bedroom heart. Acoustic guitars and glockenspiels back clever stories about charm school and friendly ghosts.

May 6, 2003 · The Champagne School

A gentle, intellectual optimism balanced by the quiet dust of nostalgia.

Moments Worth Listening For

The self-aware charm of the title track where the vocals feel like a nervous smile in a mirror.

The transition into the reprise of 'Things Are What You Make of Them' that feels like a hard-won epiphany.

The sparse, haunting arrangement of 'Ghosts Are Good Company' where the silence between notes carries the weight of isolation.
