New Century Schoolbook - The First Album Was Better cd

New Century Schoolbook were from Portland, OR, and as far as I can tell, this self-released 2007 album was actually their first (despite its ironic title), though I could be completely wrong - there's very little information on the band online! In any case, this is a wonderful slice of '00s indiepop - reminding me a lot of Vehicle Flips (particularly with their frequently clever, referential lyrics), the Salteens (lots of bouncy melodies) or maybe a more playful Belle & Sebastian. The songs have jangly guitars, jaunty keyboards and pleasant boy/girl vocals, with each of the singers taking turns at the lead and backing vocals. An overlooked classic from an obscure band! (Fun side note: the guitar player, Zachariah Selley now plays in A Certain Smile.)

You can pick this up here - on sale for this week only! Oh, and check out their 2009 7", too!

Refund Policy

We have a 14-day return policy for items that are still sealed. If it is not sealed, it is non-returnable. Please send us an email at shop@jigsaw-records.com for instructions, should you need to return anything.

Shipping Policy

All orders are shipped via USPS. All rates vary by weight and destination, so please check your cart to view the postage cost for your order.

For our international customers: if you are ordering more than a few items, you can email us to ask about a possible postage adjustment, as I can get a more accurate weight (especially with multiple lps involved) or by simply removing cd cases to reduce the package weight. However, if you are ordering only one cd or record, then I'm afraid the price you're seeing is the actual price - ridiculous, I know, sorry...
