What is going on with all this watered down shoegaze we get these days? These guys have been absorbing late period Lush & Cocteaus I reckon. From the ethereal vocal harmonies to dated dance beats, these luscious ladies & their male cohort sound like a Goa backpacker's dream. I cannot bring myself to dislike it too much as they sound like they're having fun and there's a definite feel-good factor to some of the tracks. They do resemble a fucking mid 90s tepid-rave version of The Corrs or The Cranberries sometimes though...... Erk!!

Eagerly anticipated second album from the New York trio, featuring the single ‘Windstorm’.

· ‘Disconnect From Desire’ is a bold musical step forward for
School Of Seven Bells and sees them adopting a bigger, more
emphatic sound. All the elements that make up School Of Seven
Bells are boosted and given a glorious multicoloured hue and the
songs surge as a result.

· Available as a special limited edition 2CD box set (1000
copies) available exclusively to independent retailers, with
deluxe packaging, exclusive School Of Seven Bells tarot
cards plus a bonus CD featuring an alternative version of the
band’s debut album ‘Alpinisms’; standard CD; limited
edition double vinyl LP (500 copies); and Digital Download.
