School Of Seven Bells - Live KEXP
Seattle WA.
FM Source @192
Like many bands before them, School of Seven Bells were born as the result of a late-night revelation. Benjamin Curtis connected with sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza in 2004 while their bands—Secret Machines and on!air!library!, respectively—were on tour. 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 of dream-pop, Afrobeat, IDM, and 4AD’s gauzier moments provide a constantly shifting frame for the Dehezas’ lyrics.

Loved these guys back in their prime, and it was a sad day when Benjamin Curtis died. Thanks for sharing these KEXP sets!
