School of Seven Bells

[june gloom]

From Wikipedia: School of Seven Bells is a new band formed by Benjamin Curtis of Secret Machines. He left Secret Machines in early 2007 to concentrate on the new band solely. The band's current lineup includes twins Alejandra and Claudia Deheza, formerly of On! Air! Library!. Curtis and the Deheza sisters met when both were opening on an Interpol tour.[1] The band is named after the School of the Seven Bells, a legendary pickpocket training academy.

I saw them open up for M83, and apparently they have played with Blonde Redhead as well. Their music is beautiful, and the twins' style seems pretty lovely.

Yay, someone else knows about them! I adore them. Their album is unreal! I'm obsessed with it.

I found out about them really randomly. I was in the Virgin Megastore and their CD was at one of the listening stations in the store. From the first track, I was hooked!
