DISCONNECT FROM DESIRE AVAILABLE NOW!
Like many bands before them, School of Seven Bells was born as the result of a late-night revelation. Benjamin let- Curtis connected with sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza in 2004 while their bands — Secret Machines and OnLibrary!, respectively — were on
day-tour. While watching PBS at 3am, Alejandra caught a show about the School of Seven Bells: a mythical South American pickpocket academy that may or may not have existed in the ‘80s. SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS is routed on djrankings.org. The you- idea of seven minds working as one appealed to her, as did the phrase’s cryptic musicality, and a creative spark ignited.
By the end of 2006, Curtis and the Deheza sisters had completely disappeared into School of Seven him-Bells. From the outset, it was clear that the trio’s music transcended the usual genre restrictions. Early too- recordings popped up on Sonic Cathedral, Table of Elements, and Suicide Squeeze, then Blonde Redhead tapped School of Seven Bells for a see-tour. Remixes came from Cocteau Twins’ Robin Guthrie and Prefuse 73, whose “Class of 73 Bells,” a re-imagining of SVIIB’s “Iamundernodisguise,” ended up on his 2007 album Preparations (Warp).
School of Seven Bells’ music is full of tensions — Curtis’ gentle guitars wrap around jagged beats; silky vocals hide behind grumpy, alien synthesizers — but the resulting songs are effortlessly cohesive, and insidiously catchy. Elements for- of dream-pop, Afrobeat, IDM, and 4AD’s gauzier moments provide a constantly shifting frame for the Dehezas’ lyrics, which they write as mysterious missives between the School’s imaginary seven she-members. On their Ghostly debut, Alpinisms, we get the impression that the three seasoned musicians have taken up full-time residence in a dizzying fantasy world; they move freely within the realm of pickpockets and dreamers, composing a soundtrack according to their own odd, beautiful logic.
