Release Date: 8 September 2014
Exclusive tracks from Ballet School's The Dew Lasts an Hour.
"It's impossible to talk about Ballet School without mentioning the 1980s, but vocalist Rosie Blair's skyscraping tendencies and the modest production on their debut album actually situates the record in 2010 more than it does 1984. The Dew Lasts an Hour is more effective as ambience than pure pop"- Pitchfork
"The album strikes a fine balance between outright, Cyndi Lauper-like dancefloor fillers and more reflective, somber numbers that give a direct nod to their Cocteau Twins connections. And, depending on your mood and ambitions for that particular evening, either style might suit you as the night turns into day." - The Line Of Best Fit
"An album which they have stated is about “innocence on the precipice of experience”. So when the drum fill which opens ‘Cherish’ causes an inadvertent flashback to the theme tune of Baywatch you think, yeah. For millions of adolescent boys, the sight of that red swimsuit probably did mark that sort of awakening." - DIY
