321 : School Of Seven Bells



School Of Seven Bells make misty, ethereal dream-pop that hangs in the air like laughter on a cold day. Last night was the trio's (former Secret Machines dude Benjamin Curtis and twins Alejandra and Claudia Deheza) first London show and as they played it began snowing outside. Here Benjamin tells us about sleeping on the floor, American Idol and the Nightmare On Elm Street theme.

3 FACTS

Benjamin Curtis: "1. Claudia is 10 minutes older than Alley.

2. All three of us just slept on our friend's floor in Islington.

3. I slept OK."

2 SONGS

BC: "We just heard Dream Weaver [by Gary Wright] for what felt like the first time again on the radio. We were driving from Michigan to NYC, and it sounded like the best thing ever put to tape. I bought the album, and I still feel that way. The last dissonant chord that they took for the Nightmare on Elm Street theme is sick. But, then again, we were really digging the new David Archuleta song on that same drive, so maybe our taste is completely off right now. I don't think it is, but it's always a possibility."

1 WISH

BC: "I wish that John McCain does not get elected next week."

See SIIVB play tonight at The Social and tomorrow at Pure Groove. Their album, Alpinisms, is out now on Ghostly International.
