The return of School of Seven Bells’ dreamy nu-gaze pop was announced earlier in the week with the release of their new album ‘GHOSTORY’ due on 28th February 2012.
Returning as a duo this time around, with Claudia Deheza having left the band in 2010 due to personal reasons, Benjamin Curtis and Alejandra Deheza have described the record as their ‘most collaborative to date’, as well as their most ‘spontaneous and sensual’. Due to focus around a fictional character Lafaye, ‘GHOSTORY’ has been described by Deheza as addressing the ghosts of one’s past; ‘Everyone has ghosts. They’re every love you’ve ever had, every hurt, every betrayal, every heartbreak. They follow you, stay with you.’
Released via Vagrant/Ghostly International on the 28/02/12, the tracklisting is as follows:
1. The Night
2. Love Play
3. Lafaye
4. Low Times
5. Reappear
6. Show Me Love
7. Scavenger
8. White Wind
9. When You Sing
