School of Seven Bells - Half Asleep

School of Seven Bells is the name for the collaboration of Secret Machines alum Ben Curtis and the identical twins Alejandra and Claudia Deheza formerly of On! Air! Library!. They met on a tour with Interpol and frankly hit it off, quit their bands, moved in together, and started forming lyrical music. Their 2008 release Alpinism is smooth, flowing, and relaxing. Songs such as "Half Asleep" and "Iamundernodisguise" seem to be effortless. Look for their 2010 album Disconnect from Desire shortly.

Side note: Yay, NYC!
