After a flurry of the year that was 2020, 13 MLMC songwriters and performers from Years 10 to 12 have recently returned to the Empire Music recording studio in Heidelberg West and prepared a new album for the Kool Skools project called Post. Kool Skools provides an amazing opportunity to draw together musicians of all genres and give students the chance to have their songs professionally mastered and released on CD.
While the mixing and editing process still requires a few final touches, here is a preview of the album:
Prepare yourself for a beautiful rendition of the classic Hallelujah; a folk-bluegrass hit Massacre of El Kuroke; the top-chart climbing Creep; the folksy Tell that Devil; and the distinctive and catchy So Much More Than This.
There are six original tracks that show our students’ incredible talent: Shadows, Fifteen, My Fault, Better Off, Someone Like You, and Where Do We Stand.
While this album is expected to arrive at MLMC before the end of Term 1, the Kool Skools team has started auditions for the next album, due to be released at the end of 2021.
Kool Skools, a gateway to the music world for secondary school students, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Each school gets to work within a professional studio to record an album, while State Awards Nights are held later in the year to showcase and celebrate the best songs and performances, with several acts able to perform live.
