School Of Seven Bells - SVIIB (Full Time Hobby) 2016
8
With maturity and confidence, School of Seven Bells drive home their commitment to music with SVIIB. Catchy to the core, this New York duo perfectly captures modern day indie rock fused dream pop. Songs like “Ablaze” and “A Thousand Times More” are guaranteed to get you off your feet while tracks like “Open Your Eyes” and “On My Heart” portray a more relaxed but never slow vibe. It must also be mentioned that, tragically, after a long struggle of lymphoblastic lymphoma, band member Benji Curtis passed away before the album’s release. Following news of his passing, the other half of the duo, Alejandra Deheza, announced this would be the band’s final record. Gone but not forgotten, nothing will pay as much tribute to a man’s life as an album so full of talent and musical courage.
