New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ School Of
Seven Bells Official Website) - NYC three-piece School of
Seven Bells is very excited to announce they have signed with Ghostly International for the release of 7"/Digital single, Half Asleep/Caldo on Sept. 16 (cover art shown left), followed by their long-awaited full-length debut, Alpinisms, on Oct. 28. The band is also preparing for a North American tour with M83 this November.
Born as the result of a late-night revelation. Benjamin Curtis and twin sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza found themselves in a new and unique partnership while their bands-Secret Machines and On!Air!Library! respectively-were on tour together. From the outset, it was clear that the trio's musical collaborations transcended the usual genre restrictions.
Formed in NYC in 2007, SVIIB released a very select and highly-celebrated handful of 7"s and compilation tracks through various labels such as Sonic Cathedral (with a remix by Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie), Table of the Elements, and Suicide Squeeze. This caught the ears of Blonde Redhead and Prefuse 73, who then handpicked them to join their North American tours late last year.
Now, the band will prepare for the release of its forthcoming 7" single and full-length, Alpinisms, via their new-found label home. See below for M83 tour dates.
