School Of Seven Bells Now On Tour With M83 Half Asleep 7″ Single & ALPINISMS LP Available Now

Brooklyn’s School of Seven Bells just may be your new favorite band. Helmed by Benjamin Curtis and sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza, they came together in 2004 while their bands - Secret Machines and On-Air Library!, respectively - were on 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. The idea of seven minds working as one appealed to her, as did the phrase’s cryptic musicality, and a creative spark ignited.

After early recordings popped up on Sonic Cathedral, Table of Elements, and Suicide Squeeze, the band landed at Ghostly International and released their highly acclaimed debut full length, Alpinisms. And now with their 7” single Half Asleep/Caldo, School of Seven Bells is stylishly splitting the difference between shoegazing introspection and stargazing dream pop.

Both Alpinisms and the Half Asleep 7″ single are available now via the Ghostly International store.

Meet Madi Diaz!

With a staggering voice and a gift for poignant melodies and innovative arrangements, Madi Diaz is folding her roots, pop and indie influences into her own paper airplane.

The sound of her new EP, Ten Gun Salute, might surprise those who have heard her previous album Skin and Bone, as Madi and her cohort, Kyle Ryan, veer off into new sonic territories. Toy pianos plink. Fat basslines oomph. Americana overtones give way to imaginative pop structures. All the while there’s that amazing voice weaving through.

4. Love You Now
5. I Know I Know
