School of Seven Bells (often just SVIIB) is a three-piece band formed by Benjamin Curtis of Secret Machines, together with identical twins Alejandra and Claudia Deheza, formerly of On! Air! Library!. The band is named after the School of the Seven Bells, a mythical South American pickpocket training academy.[1]

Curtis and the Deheza sisters met when both were opening on an Interpol tour.[2] The three decided to end their commitments to their old bands, move in to a shared space, and create a home recording studio together.[1]

Their sound has been described as dreamy and ethereal, and the lyrics as abstract. However, singer Alejandra Deheza insists that the lyrics are not abstract or obscure. In addition, the fact that she is a lucid dreamer is fitting of the lofty sounds they create.[1]

The band has an unorthodox song writing process that begins with lyrics, which are only supplemented by the music.[1] Curtis has said this is the most important part of the band with “everything else accompaniment.” A before-and-after example of this process is hosted by NPR’s program Day to Day (see 3:50s).[3]

In concert, Curtis, who stays mostly on lead guitar can often be seen manipulating various electronic devices in between guitar segments.

A single My Cabal was released in May 2007 on the UK label Sonic Cathedral.

A 12”/digital EP Face to Face on High Places was released in September 2007 on Table of the Elements, in addition to a single from Prefuse 73 called Class of 73 Bells that features the band.[2]

The band toured with Blonde Redhead in September 2007 and with Prefuse 73 in November 2007.[2]
