There’s a new School of Seven Bells album titled Disconnect From Desire due in July, and the band has issued an MP3 of “Babelonia” to preview the record. Head over here, enter your email address in the box provided, and you’ll be sent instruction on how to download the song.
Much of the criticism aimed at the band revolves around them sticking a little too closely to various shoegazing favorites of yore such as My Bloody Valentine and Curve. They haven’t entirely shaken off those influences here—“Babelonia” could easily be an offcut from Curve’s Frozen EP—and it remains to be seen whether School of Seven Bells can really find a musical space that is uniquely their own.
You're right: I definitely hear Curve in there.
