49. School of Seven Bells - Disconnect From Desire

School of Seven Bells is named after a mythical South American pickpocket training academy. It consists of Alejandra Deheza and Benjamin Curtis. Benjamin used to be in Secret Machines and Tripping Daisy, which is probably why I like this band so much. Their debut was released in 2007 and made my top 50 list then and this one is just as compelling. Many bands fail to live up to the hype of their debut album, but SSB, I feel has done an incredible job. They are an electronic/dream pop band that utilize a unique process of writing the lyrics first and forming the music around them. If you like this, check out 'Alpinisms' as well.
