Moscow Schoolboy

Moscow Schoolboy

Melbourne based Moscow Schoolboy is fronted by singer and main songwriter Jess Cornelius, who has previously played solo (or was it with a backing band?) in a different incarnation called Jess Cornelius Experiment. That outift won Jess a songwriting competition and she went to South By Southwest in 2005. Fast forward to early 2006 and Jess with her Schoolboys has crafted a pop gem in ‘Use Me Back’.

Opening with catchy synth riffs the song explore the very basic subject of sex and seduction set in anonymous smoky bars and rock gigs. The low PJ Harvey-like vocal stylings suggest that Jess knows exactly what she wants out of the unnamed prey and what she is going to do with him. She maintains full of control throughout the song until the last sixty seconds where she begins to lose it and eventually goes completely nuts before those same synths fade the song, leaving the impression that the whole experience should have been longer. Kinda like orgasm sort of.
