The Oedipus Project
Sadly, SVIIB will be the final album from School of Seven Bells, a band I was so fond of.
What began as a trio with twin sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza and Benjamin Curtis, transformed into a duo when Claudia left in 2010.
Tragically Benjamin died of lymphoma in 2013.
SVIIB is the abbreviation for School of Seven Bells and Curtis did complete his parts before becoming sick.
“Open Your Eyes” from the album coming next month.
“Open Your Eyes”
Interpol is currently on tour with School of Seven Bells (SVIIB) and Matthew Dear.
All three have been featured here in the past. The “Search” button above will take you to their music.
On the Interpol website there is a free Tour EP of all three bands. Included is Interpol’s “Lights”, a pre-release free download.
I’m particularly fond of SVIIB’s “Dust Devil”.

“Dust Devil” by School of Seven Bells
School of Seven Bells is a three-piece New York band consisting of Benjamin Curtis (formerly of Secret Machines) and identical twins Alejandra and Claudia Deheza (ex of On!Air!Library!). They amusingly claim to take their name from a mythical South American school for pickpockets. From their forthcoming Disconnect From Desire album, “Babelonia” has such an infectious lilt and is the Song of the Day.
