Ballet School wooed America with last year’s critically acclaimed EP, Boys Again, and are finally hitting our shores once more with their brilliant LP debut, The Dew Lasts An Hour which hit September 9 via Bella Union. The critically acclaimed album from the Berlin-based multi-nationals is a fresh, vibrant take on the lush, emoting tropes of Eighties pop and rock, all while sounding resolutely 21st century. The album’s diverse influences place the trio at the forefront of pop’s new alternative.
“Ballet School sounds like wild enthusiasm coursing through the internet and spilling out breathlessly into real life.” Stereogum
“Take one part Cocteau Twins’ genre-bending gleam pop, add in a dash of late-night rebellion, and top it all off with the kind of exuberance that comes from a truly epic weekend, and you’re well on your way to Ballet School.” Nylon
“Pop group Ballet School may be from Berlin, but their music pays homage to 80s American pop—a vibrantmelange of synths and elastic, soaring vocals.” Noisey
