School of Seven Bells (often abbreviated as SVIIB) is a dream pop/shoegaze/electronic band formed in 2007 in Brooklyn, New York, United States. The group consists of Alejandra Deheza (vocals, guitar), and Benjamin Curtis (guitar, synthesizers, production). Alejandra's identical twin sister Claudia Deheza (vocals, keyboards) was also a member of the band until leaving for personal reasons in October 2010. School of Seven Bells was named after a mythical South American pickpocket training academy. Read more about School of Seven Bells on Last.fm.

From last.fm:

There's no guide or manual for what Mystery Palace does, no easy clockwork formula hidden in the Minneapolis based trio's agenda. Sequenced electronics plus live instruments offer a tough enough row to hoe on their own; when the former come from a pair of heavily circuit-bent Yamaha mid-pro keyboards, opportunities for disaster multiply exponentially. Luckily, so do opportunities for the sorts of disastrous successes the band enjoys regularly, largely thanks to founder Ryan Olcott's aptitude for riding his profusely toggle-switched brainchildren's outputs like a porn star.
