On the album cover is Alejandra Deheza, the vocalist of School of Seven Bells.

The first single is Lafaye. Listen here.

I do like them.... but from what I've heard of this, it seems they've been going through their Cocteau Twins back catalogue and taking serious notes.....

Both 'The Night' and 'Lafaye' are superb, really looking forward to the album!

Great music!A good listener.http://www.cx-7.info/g.gif

Don't if anyone realises but this has leaked.

 

Particularly loving White Wind at the moment.

I'm 50/50 on these... I bought Alpinisms... but it's 30% ok, 70% seriously not ok at all. Yes, they're very Ccoteau Twins.... but without the mystery, grandeur...and stunning vocals.

The Cocteau Twins they listen to is obviously late-period Cocteaus, more like Four Calender Cafe and later when Liz Frazer was singing more ordinarily/intelligibly! (not that she is ever ordinary! Seriously love The Cocteaus)

I love this album! It's really amazing.

 

PS They're much more listenable/accesible than Cocteau Twins. To me it's quite difficult to listen to a CT album from start to finish (except HOLV).

I love The Night, used the track in last month's BJSC & Lafaye, I didn't know there was a thread topic on them. I might just have to get the album.

Great live performance of "The Night" @ Jimmy Fallon:

 

I do like this album but the final track on the album is such a My Bloody Valentine rip-off/homage.

Indeed, it sounds a bit (more) like "Soon".

They've released a new 5 track EP 'Put Your Sad Down' which is brilliant, I'd say the quality is better than that of 'Ghostory'. The 12 minute title track and 'Faded Heart' are both a bit special.

 

They've released their final ever song today, the last thing they worked on before Benjamin died :(
