Few acts have been as consistently impressive over the past five or so years as
School Of Seven Bells. They may have lost a Deheza twin since the heady days of
Alpinisms; since
Disconnect From Desire, even but they've lost none of the wispy, yet with that focussed propulsion to have thrust them up toward the apices of
dream-pop in the first place.
Ghostory too was, in places, a swoonsome beauty but this pseudo-industrial clodhopper tramples over much of it most impactfully. Secret Days is lifted from a forthcoming EP entitled
Put Your Sad Down that's expected November 13th via
Vagrant, and Secret Days is indeed a clunky hunk of industro-sulk. "Wanted the world to see me/ Without the fools and chains/ Wanted the world to know me/ Without the rules and games" goes Alejandra, as though preaching from the gospel of ignominy according to Trent.
Put Your Sad Down and Secret Days on below.
