School of Seven Bells - "Half Asleep"

In School of Seven Bells music, a human element lurks behind a veil of technology and noise; Toby Holbrooks video for the Brooklyn trios Half Asleep follows suit, depicting real-life twin vocalists Alejandra and Claudia Deheza as earthbound beauties, while complicating their image through sped-up film, gauzy overlays, and brightly colored, weather-like disturbances. The clip conjures a sad, surreal feeling that sticks with you long after the images fade.

Dream pop, man. It already has a genre.

[Kae Gaebora]

Sometimes I go whole days listening, bored, half sleep. I won't say anything that's worth a thing to me. One day, suddenly, time took a turn that once felt so brief, I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly.. What begins as an unguarded train of thought, slowly can become an addiction to the slumber of disconnection and the resonance of memory that no longer has a shape but keeps you numb through the hours till gone is another day.

They kind of go under both, but I think they're a little more dream-poppy than shoe-gazey. :P

This song creates this ethereal timelessness...it's almost too perfect being about some sense of being half asleep. They somehow matched the concept with the lyrics with the music. I hope this is what dying sounds like.
