School Of X releases self-titled album
“It’s a song about suffering from delusions and the anxiety that inevitably comes with them, while doing everything you can to function in the world. For me, it has been about feeling persecuted. At times, it became so extreme that I thought it would kill me. That’s also why ’Exist’ is a small miracle, because I wrote it at a time when I was at my lowest.”
’Exist’ portrays the reality Rasmus Littauer, aka School Of X, has experienced. But while the song is rooted in deeply self-destructive patterns, it also holds out hope for change, inspired by the people around the Copenhagen-based artist and by the person he himself strives to be for others.
“Love and family are what ultimately prevail. People who lift you up and can be a source of pure life energy, giving you a new perspective on how to find your way back and move forward,” says Littauer.
The darkness of the lyrics is offset by Littauer’s bright vocals and the optimism that shines through in the warm production with a slow-rock feel, which reveals new sides of School Of X’s alternative pop.
His latest album, ’Seventh Heaven’, was released to widespread critical acclaim and international attention in 2024. Rasmus Littauer has also released albums and collaborated with artists including Trentemøller, Liss and MØ.
’Exist’ will be released alongside the international version of the previously released single ’Not Enough Time’ ahead of School Of X’s self-titled album, which will be released on No3 on 8 January 2027. An exclusive vinyl pre-order will be available from 15 November to 15 December.
