School of Seven Bells - "Prince of Peace"

Alpinisms is an electronically enhanced pop record of dizzying highs and claustrophobic lows, whose painstaking conception shows in its detail-laden crevices. On the albums best tracks, Benjamin Curtis constructs layers of shoegazing, moire-patterned guitars, while sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza intertwine their near-identical voices like the fingers of praying hands. Throughout, the whole heavenly affair is tethered to the ground with a glitchy, tribal thwomp.

In Alpinisms, technology collides with cryptic religious imagery and airtight songcraft; knowledge begets action; and School of Seven Bells master an alien climate with effortless artistry.

Hinges that sing, swing, swing, swing!

[LightSweet]

whoa--the Indian influences in their music are incredible. And the singer--how GORGEOUS can one be???--she appears to have Indian ancestry. (Must look into this.) I'll bet Sheila Chandra, and other more classical Indian musicians, are influences. How cool! And here I thought they were just a good Indy band. I see they're so much more!

@F3nyx that's the only way to describe this song.

@NeonFoxLetsPlays yeah, this has just the right touch of freaky fanaticism
