The deluxe edition of this New York based trio’s electronica/dream pop debut, Alpinisms, was released about 2 weeks ago and has been in surprisingly heavy rotation since then. The single “Iamundernodisguise” somehow manages to lodge itself in my head everyday, which probably creeps people out as I constantly chant the chorus under my breath. The [...]Related posts:Back to School RW: Long

As a whole, the original Alpinisms warrants much praise. Songs like “Iamundernodisguise”, “Half Asleep” and “Connjur” are, quite literally, among the best electro-pop songs released this year. And, in some ways, School Of Seven Bells defies that genre classification, as their music strays into an occasional repetitive shoegaze, hints at a little feedback filled noise, and dives headl

Have you ever wondered what happened to former Secret Machines member Benjamin Curtis? Here's your answer: he left his brother to shack up with identical twin sisters and further shoegaze/dream-pop wanderings. The 'identical' part of the deal was somewhat lost on us in concert, mostly because keyboardist Alejandra Deheza remained 85% obscured by hair during her performance.

School of Seven Bells (SVIIB) are one of those bands that after slowly creeping onto my radar the past few months, have suddenly become a current favorite. Judging by the crowd they pulled last night at Bottom Lounge, it appears they've caught the attention of numerous other Chicago fans as well. Headliners Fujiya & Miyagi clearly brought in their fair share of people to the club, but the bu...

(Ghostly International) Consisting of Benjamin Curtis (ex- Secret Machines) and sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza, Brooklyn's SVIIB have recently toured with M83, a match that's a good indication of what to expect aesthetically from Alpinisms. It is a fulfilling, rewarding album, the palette of which is rich with digital gauze,…

The crew here managed to fly through some 70 sets of music last week, and boy is our abilty-to-wade-through-the-sadness-that's-passing-for-buzzed-up-indie-rock tired. There's a very scientific formula to attaining that coveted "Guess I should see this band 'cause everybody's saying I should" status: The first criteria is, of course, a widely circulated Hype Machine single. But in its absence, ...

School of Seven Bells I let the guitar wash over my body. Bending notes twisted my arms and legs in "s" shapes at places they are not meant to twist like that. The brisk tapping of cymbal effects massaged my neck like stiff rain and bass shook the intestinal flora off the highest peaks of my [...]

Last year I came upon a track by Prefuse 73 featuring School Of Seven Bells entitled "The Class Of 73 Bells" which is a rework of a song off of their new album Alpinisms called "Iamundernodisguise". I'm a part time Prefuse fan, but this track was awesome. I really didn't do any research of who [...]

Prepare to be wowed by Brooklyn trio School of Seven Bells whose first full-length CD, Alpinisms , is set for release on October 28. Their smooth dance-beats, Benjamin Curtis's guitars, and the breathy, entwining vocals of sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza have sweetly seduced most of the music-blog world with the pre-release of the single "Connjur" from that album. Fans of Blonde Redhea...
