English Teacher announce This Could Be A Remix Album featuring Sherelle, Daniel Avery and Baxter Dury

Leeds indie mainstays English Teacher have announced This Could Be A Remix Album, a reimagining of their Mercury Prize-winning debut This Could Be Texas. The album will be released this Friday, 10th October.

The 13-track collection features remixes, reworks and covers from a hand-picked roster of artists spanning electronic, post-punk and experimental music, including Sherelle, Daniel Avery, Baxter Dury, Working Men’s Club, Water From Your Eyes, Max Cooper, and Fontaines D.C. DJs.

Together, they reinterpret English Teacher’s debut with an entirely new sonic lens, turning its literate indie framework into a patchwork of club textures, dream pop experiments and art-rock reinventions.

Speaking on the project, the band said: “So grateful that some of our favourite contemporary artists and friends were up for doing this with us x.”
