DLS 015 LP 


***UK-based noise rock outfit Schande presents their debut LP Once Around, via The Daydream Library Series, the house record label of Ecstatic Peace Library operated by Thurston and Eva Moore. The band, fronted by Thurston Moore Guitar Ensemble member Jen Chochinov, has shared a trio of singles showcasing the band's melodically angular approach to songwriting—searing and calm in equal measures, reminiscent yet distinctive. Inspired by the works of writers such as Hannah Arendt and Adriana Cavarero, Once Around focuses on notions of personal existence and subjectivity. Mirrored by the band's collaborative musical process, the album aims to explore the ways in which even the most personal journeys depend on others, something the band of expats—Chochinov is from the US, drummer Ryan Grieve hails from Canada, and bassist Gio Villaraut is from Italy—navigate daily as they establish and reinvent themselves in their adoptive home of the UK. Schande's current sound was shaped by Chochinov's stint playing in the Thurston Moore Guitar Ensemble. On the heels of playing with the group, Chochinov started experimenting with alternative tunings, including those she learned from Thurston himself. The freedom offered by new tunings gave the band a chance to approach songs and song writing in a new way. The California-born Chochinov has been crafting catchy, propulsive rock in DIY circles since the early 1990s. Solo and full band adventures throughout the years have included a split 7" with The Cribs and James Murphy 's pre-LCD Soundsystem group Speedking, playing the legendary Indie Tracks festival (UK), and playing Happy Happy Birthday to Me 's Athens Pop Festival (US). Since relocating to London in 2013, she has continued playing shows throughout the UK and US both solo and with her full band. In 2018 and 2019, she was a touring member of Thurston Moore's Guitar Ensemble and played shows throughout the UK and Europe.
