What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

School Of Seven Bells: Silent Grips (Suicide Squeeze) Is powered by a loose limbed jazzy beat and clear, glistening vocals almost reminiscent of Stereolab, sans the ubiquitous bahbahbahs.
There's nothing more to it than the voice, percussion/beats, a quivering keyboard line with the slightest touch of FX here and there (provided by no other than Prefuse 73). The flip, a cover of Wire's 'Used To', continues the minimal approach with much the same musical outlook. Nothing is added that's not needed. This is almost perfect pop that makes this scribe want to put on repeat. On 7 inches of see-through green vinyl, complete with a coupon for MP3 download. Good stuff!

What the label says:

School Of Seven Bells intricately infuse a psych-rock aesthetic that freely weaves itself in an ethereal of lush harmonics, richly textured beats and ripping riffs.
School Of Seven Bells comprise of ex-Secret Machines guitarist Benjamin Curtis and On! Air! Library! sister set Alejandra and Claudia Deheza.  Besides the notable names that make up this dynamic group, the band has toured with the likes of such artists as Prefuse 73 and Blonde Redhead.   This limited edition gold vinyl 7” (2000 copies) features a brand spanking new track from the band, ‘Silent Grips’, and a unique cover of Wire’s ‘Used To’.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
