London-based, Melbourne-raised HighSchool have this week returned with their scintillating new effort Doesn't Matter. Coinciding with the announcement of their UK/EU tour, the new single is packed with catchy guitar riffs and jangly, hazy melodies as the band edge towards their forthcoming second studio EP, Accelerator, due out April 19th. Of the track, the band share that “‘Doesn’t Matter’ is a song about unrequited love. It’s about your beloved being unaware or uncaring of your affection and deep desire for them. It’s about longing and the places your imagination takes you when you yearn for someone”. The track comes accompanied by its official video directed by Henry Gosper and self-produced by the band, providing another insight to their unique aesthetic universe. "The video was shot over two days at three separate locations in and around the outskirts of Melbourne" the band say. "We were trying to capture a modern Southern Gothic atmosphere with an Australian flair, taking inspiration from classic Australian Gothic literature and film as well as crime stoppers adverts and the T.V. programs like Highway Patrol". Take a watch below.
