The Spook School - Like A Heartbeat The Spook School

Formed in 2011, The Spook School carved out a reputation as one of the most beloved queer acts of their generation. Nominated for Scottish Album of The Year in 2018 with their third and final studio album Could It Be Different? on Alcopop! Records, it was an internationally acclaimed release that was packed with hope and good will, passionately championing LGBTQ+ rights and inclusivity years ahead of the public discourse.

Following their final farewell tour and subsequent split in August/September 2019, The Spook School staged their own disappearance to the moon, remaining otherwise inactive, save for a sold-out duo of December 2023 reunion shows celebrating the 10th anniversary of their Fortuna POP! debut album Dress Up.

Now, with the political climate growing ever more hostile and LGBTQ+ rights under threat around the world once more, the time is ripe for The Spook School’s return with new album Like A Heartbeat; the heroes we deserve, carrying a message of resilience, solidarity, and—vitally—hope for the future.

Recorded with Rod Jones of Scottish rock titans Idlewild at his Post Electric Studio in Leith, Edinburgh, new album Like A Heartbeat is undeniably The Spook School’s most fully realised, cohesive, and sonically refined record to date. This is a timely, vital return.
