School of Seven Bells are Alejandra de la Deheza and Benjamin Curtis, and they hail from Brooklyn, New York. Maybe coming to a town near you soon. I know they will be in San Francisco at the Rickshaw Stop on April 20. They have gone from a trio to a duo, not sure of the story behind that but the new album from what I've heard of it so far is glorious. Keep a look out for it.

School Of Seven Bells are back with their third release, Ghostory, out February 28 on Vagrant Records/Ghostly Inernational. The highly-anticipated album finds the band’s lineup has evolved along with the music; formerly a trio, the band is now a duo: guitarist/producer Benjamin Curtis and vocalist Alejandra Deheza.
Recorded in-between tours, Ghostory exemplifies a fervent progression of SVIIB’s growth as artists, preserving the common themes found on their last two releases but exposing them in different fashions. The familiar ethereal and enigmatic tones are omnipresent, surrounded by layers of influences from ’80s pop, shoegaze and ambient electronic sounds. However, Ghostory comes with a story in mind; the tale of a young girl named Lafaye and the ghosts that surround her life.
