Heading to Australia’s shores as part of this year’s mammoth Splendour in the Grass bill, New York’s School of Seven Bells will release their second album “Disconnect from Desire” this 9th July on Speak N Spell through Inertia.
Produced by band member Benjamin Curtis and mixed by Grammy Award winner Jack Joseph Puig (Beck, U2, Klaxons), ‘Disconnect from Desire’ was recorded in the band’s home studio and mixed in Los Angeles at Ocean Way Recording - birthplace of records by The Rolling Stones, Radiohead and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. A tremendous leap forward for the band musically, with a growth in all elements of their intricate and multi-layered sound, ‘Disconnect From Desire’ is an astoundingly personal sophomore effort.
The unique experience of playing live allowed the band to step out of their sometimes-insular creative process, and to discover and explore a newfound connectivity with listeners. This connection to the external world is reflected throughout the new album and indicative of the trio’s development.
“From the start, we knew we wanted to make a record that connected on more of a direct and personal level than we ever had before,” says Curtis, “It's a complete account of our lives this past year, and it's crazy how taking an honest look at yourself can tell you the most about the world around you."
