Annie Taylor’s newest single and video ‘Schoolgirl’ is due for release 3rd July 2023 through Taxi Gauche Records and is taken from their forthcoming album ‘Inner Smile’.
The band have recently recorded their eagerly-anticipated second album (‘Inner Smile’) in Bristol, UK, with uber-producer Ali Chant (Yard Act; Katy J. Pearson; Aldous Harding; Sorry). Annie Taylor also recently performed two triumphant shows at The Great Escape 2023.
The band’s signature sound is evermore present in their newest single ‘Schoolgirl’, a mixture of contemporary indie rock similar to that of Wolf Alice, combined with 90s girl band rock, making it a track that would be at home on an angsty teen movie soundtrack. Undeniably catchy, the punchy guitar driven single is made up of snappy riffs, tight snares and lead singer Gini Jungi’s pristine vocals, capturing the excitement and uncertainty of falling in love in a fresh and honest way.
England’s music luminaries Gigwise describes Annie Taylor as “Mellow, cool guitar romp through desert rock, shoegaze, indie and pop influences. Lush.” – and not without reason!
Band member Jungi said of the single: “Falling in love can be thrilling and confusing at the same time. Especially when you’re not sure what you’re about to get yourself into. It can make you feel bold and shy, excited and nervous but still, it’s a feeling that fills you up with energy and hedonism.”
“Schoolgirl is a reflection on the early stages of a relationship where everything is new and exciting, but it can also make one feel extremely confused and nervous. The lyrics capture the feeling of being young and in love, not knowing where it will all lead, but being excited to find out,” Jungi continued.
The four friends Gini Jungi, Tobias Arn, Michael Mutter and Daniel Bachmann joined the Taxi Gauche Records family when they collectively decided to jump on a train for the most exhilarating adventure of their lives.
From playing at barely equipped shacks to supporting Skunk Anansie on their 2022 tour, the band has been highly active since their debut release Sweet Mortality in 2020. Itʼs a record as seeped in pop as it is in psychedelia and grunge which ends up at a beautiful mid-point (Taxi Gauche Records). With that said, itʼs not surprising that Annie Taylor were inundated with requests to perform at numerous festivals including MTV Music Week, Reeperbahn, Zurich Openair, Waves Vienna and Montreux Jazz Festival, before heading out on tour in the UK, Germany and Switzerland.
Whilst alerting the ears of The 405, Gigwise, Indie Shuffle and L.A.Weekly, the band have garnered laudable comparisons to early Hole, Wolf Alice and Warpaint. Hailing from Zurich, Annie Taylor are surfing around the corner with an extremely nonchalant mixture of grunge and freshly exuberant rock, spreading a buoyant, uplifting atmosphere everywhere, with their undeniably energetic live shows.
