Love Me While I’m Working

Release Date: June 26 Artist: The Afterschools

 

A vibrant and cinematic indie‑rock journey, Love Me While I’m Working captures the chaos, humor, heartbreak, and small victories of everyday life. The album blends storytelling with energy — from the surreal to the sentimental — all wrapped in the band’s signature sound.
A giant walking locker wearing a skirt and high heels steps through a city like a friendly, non‑threatening Godzilla. The locker has eyelashes, a backpack, a band‑aid on its face, a peace sign on the side, and a relieved, adventurous smile.

About the Album

Love Me While I’m Working was tracked on a Tascam 8‑track reel‑to‑reel in a small home studio. Working with tape meant committing to performances and letting the limitations shape the sound. What came out is a straightforward, no‑frills record built from real takes, real moments, and the texture of analog gear doing what it does best.

The album’s artwork — a giant locker striding confidently through a city — captures the spirit perfectly: surreal, bold, and ready for whatever comes next.
