ONE of EIGHT
SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS -
"WINDSTORM"
School of Seven Bells was born back in 2004 when Benjamin
Curtis from Secret Machines crossed paths with twin sisters
Alejandra and Claudia Deheza of on!air!library!. Steadily
devoting more time to the new group, these Brooklynites
rallied behind the band's name, a reference to a mythical
80’s South American pickpocket academy, where seven
separate minds combined to work as one.
As a follow-up to 2008's Alpinisms, the trio is back with
an excellent new release Disconnect from Desire,
out now on Ghostly International, Vagrant and Full Time
Hobby. The album opener is “Windstorm”, a haze of Lush
guitars and beats and swirling vocals from the sisters
Deheza. You can check out the traffic stopping video
here , directed by David Altobelli
(director and editor for the latest video of the quietly
stunning group Hammock.
Catch School of Seven Bells on 23 October at Santos Party
House (as part of CMJ) and later in Paris on 3 November
2010 at La Boule Noire as part of the Petit Bateau /
Kitsuné Inrocks event.
