There Was a Me Before You | School of Seven Bells

Published Sunday late morning 🌘

With the digital age of music I’ve realized something.

I totally forget that I like listening to certain bands.

Blame that on the fact that I don’t own any cds.

No dusty cds.

No cds lining my walls and shelves.

No cds stacked dangerously high on my dresser.

Instead I have to rely solely on playlists, social reminders, or tv shows to shock me into ‘oh yeah! i f*cking love that band!‘.

That happened recently with School of Seven Bells. Totally forgot about them.

In 2012 we saw them at Music Fest Northwest in Portland.

Along with this happy dancer and Atlas Genius. And Silver Sun Pickups. I only went to the Pioneer Square shows, but it was a great time.

Thanks to the new release section of Spotify I noticed School of Seven Bells came out with SVIIB, their 4th album. Oddly enough this album was written during their tour break that year.

School of Seven Bells recent wiki learnings

All I could tell you before reading their wiki page was that I loved all of their albums.

  1. The band was twin sisters (Alejandra & Claudia Deheza) and a guy, Benjamin Curtis
  2. In 2010 Claudia left the band
  3. In 2013 Benjamin Curtis died of T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma
  4. Named after a South American pickpocketing academy whut?!

SVIIB audio tracks

  1. Ablaze
  2. On My Heart
  3. Open Your Eyes
  4. A Thousand Times More
  5. Elias
  6. Signals
  7. Music Takes Me

  9. This is Our Time

This ended up being an emotional revisit to the band. I had no idea. ????
