"School of Seven Bells quickly gained attention two years ago with its debut, “Alpinisms,” a hazy, dreamy collection of synth, gentle guitars and clear, unaffected harmonies that drew connections to shoegazers My Bloody Valentine and Cocteau Twins. This summer, the band released a follow-up, “Disconnect from Desire,” which explores more of the same. But to really get a sense of what this music is all about, we leave that up to our award-nominated Algorhythm system.
Take the careful harmonies and soaring vocals of Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 classic, “Rumours.” Then add …
The Eastern-tinged, dream-like qualities of the Beatles’ 1966 album “Revolver.” Then add …
The laid-back electronics-angelic vocal combination on Zero 7’s 2004 breakthrough, “When It Falls.” The result?
School of Seven Bells sophomore album, “Disconnect From Desire.”"
School of Seven Bells in the NYP?! Oh man, what a mindfuck. Even crazier, the description is pretty accurate.
UPDATE: I've been listening to this album quite a bit lately and I'd throw Jem into the mix, too.
