salut mes nouveaux amis

I go through new bands like New Yorkers go through disposable coffee cups. However my newest addiction is a little "out there" as some people say. They are self-titled, School of Seven Bells (SVIIB) is named after a rumoured pickpocket academy (how edgy eh?) They sound like fairies that got their feet stuck on a reverb pedal. Do not how ever, assume that that is a bad thing... two women and the former guitarist of Secret Machines form a trio of garageband porportions mixed with fabulously clear backbeats and an indie beckoning of magnanomous proportions. So feel free to wear your Tom's and appropriote slouchy winter beany and impress your pack of friends with this band that does not hit Top 40. (Possibly because they lack the innovation...just a side note.) Moving on swiftly from that little digg at my new Brooklyn friends, they are worth a second so check em. Particularly the fan favorite "Half Asleep", woot to you all they have a myspace AND they are itunes (maybe they are Top 40 bound, ha!)
