Video: School of Seven Bells – Half Asleep

School of Seven Bells

There’s something about a band that makes everyone swoon at their sound, particularly the girls I know who’ve heard this want to recreate it or make music like it. School of Seven Bells are such a band. So many melodies. So much warmth. In truth, this video is never going to match the atmosphere of the recording and a taxi ride just doesn’t cut it. I want starfish and magic and light and other such unnecessary objects flying in my eyeline. At the very least, Alejandra and Claudia Deheza are beautiful people. The band play here in Whelan’s on the 23rd of this month.
