Artist You Should Know: School of Seven Bells, Stream “Babelonia”

My first experience with School of Seven Bells involved chasing them around NYC, trying to catch one of their many shows during the CMJ music conference a few years ago. It seemed like they arrived out of nowhere and were the talk of the town. Now, with a second album coming out in July, they are proving the band is not only sticking around, but getting better. Here’s Jason Bentley’s current favorite “Babelonia.”

School of Seven Bells – Babelonia

The band’s music – performed by identical twins Alejandra and Claudia Deheza and Benjamin Curtis (Secret Machines) — is undeniably dreamy, moody and sexy. (Though their new album is called “Disconnect from Desire,” interestingly enough.) Their debut “Alpinisms” was a station favorite and their new release was written mostly while they were touring around supporting it, including a stop on Morning Becomes Eclectic. The band will be kicking off a tour in Los Angeles at The Echo on June 2. I highly recommend catching them while you can!
