The trippy three piece, School of Seven Bells is set to release their second album called “Disconnect from Desire” on July 13th. You can pre-order the album here and listen to it in it’s entirety here at the price of your e-mail address. The album, from my brief time with it, is another adventure in sonic sculpting, cooing female harmonies and atmospheric beats. Below the fold you will find a video of the band discussing thier beginnings and latest album as well as a tour schedule and mp3! (more…)
The shoegazey Poconos, New York quintet Soundpool have released a new 7″ featuring the tracks “But It’s So” and “Makes No Sense”. “But It’s So” features the groups trademarked fuzzy ethereal sound but also infuses a bass groove and beats that the New Young Pony Club would be proud of. “Makes No Sense” similarly plays up the dance-ability and atmosphere, like a party heard through the television from Poltergeist. Kim Field’s smoky vocals, as usual, add that essential human touch to each of the songs. Bottom line, listen to these songs!
