Guided by San Francisco musician Andy Pastalaniec, Chime School pays homage to the formative jangle of The Byrds by way of early Primal Scream and The Springfields; the production and pop sensibility of Biff Bang Pow! and The Razorcuts; and the spirit of great singles labels like Creation, Postcard and Sarah – Although it would have fit with any of those labels, Chime School found a natural home with Bay Area indie stalwart Slumberland Records, releasing a self-titled debut in 2021, and a follow-up 7″ single in 2023, to broad acclaim.

The anticipated follow-up LP “The Boy Who Ran The Paisley Hotel” is as stellar as we could have hoped for — deeper, richer and evolved in every way. While still joyfully packed with janglepop gems, “Paisley Hotel” takes a turn toward the winsome melancholy of groups like East Village, The Go-Betweens, and The Loft, and represents a leap forward in production, composition and arrangement. “The first record was a bit manic. I was trying to stuff so many years of influences into thirty brisk minutes. With ‘Paisley Hotel’ I chose a more condensed palette, and I feel I’m getting closer to the sonic vision I had from the beginning.”
