MP3: School of Seven Bells - "Windstorm"
I feel as though making music with a sibling provides the process of writing with something special. Identical twins Alejandra and Claudia Deheza (formerly of On! Air! Library!) and Benjamin Curtis (formerly of Secret Machines) make music that sounds, at times, quite heavenly, with a mix of shoegaze and dream pop. "Windstorm" is a perfect illustration of how all three members are in tune with each others' musical inclinations. The arrangement is nothing terribly complex, but with the soaring synth line that characterizes the track, "Windstorm" sounds as if it grows into something bigger than it was before you hit play. With the Deheza sisters harmonizing over a well-layered soundscape of synthetic drums, synth flourishes, and a subtle infusion of electric guitar, "Windstorm" carries you off the earth, high into the air.
"Windstorm" is from School of Seven Bells' new LP, Disconnect from Desire, out next Tuesday, July 13th. Listen to the whole album now right here.
