SCHØØL is a new shoegaze / rock band from France lead by Francis Mallari (Rendez-Vous’ singer). The End is taken from the upcoming SCHØØL’s debut album coming out early 2025.
‘The End’ is actually a sad song about someone who no longer sees themself fitting in to modern society. They would take their own life but they can’t help and still have «a little feeling» for it. If you’ve watched the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion you’ll know what I mean.
Watch the video below of SCHØØL:
‘The End’ video was filmed last summer by Ludovic Azémar, he followed the band once again with his camera in their short trip to Berlin where Alex the drummer lives. They can be seen playing in Alex’s living room and walking around Hasenheide parc with Lotta the dog. Unfortunately not all members could make it to Berlin, that is why Jack (guitar) appears on a laptop screen. Title design was made on a Nintendo DS.
