Song Of The Day: School Of Seven Bells “Dust Devil”

I really enjoy School Of Seven Bells’ latest album, Disconnect From Desire. It’s more of a proper album than their debut.  It has a particular sound, a flow, an energy.  I immediately fell in love with it when I first heard it, and now I own it.

“Dust Devil” is the third song on the album, and it follows the second track “Heart Is Strange” quite well.  It has a similar sound, but just a little different.  The harmonies are tighter, for sure. What I really love about this song is the constant keyboard pulse going on in the background.  I also like the girls’ voices and how they draw out the vowels on each line.  It makes the song have a haunting, soothing quality.  The third thing I like is the repetition of some lines and notes that break up the monotony of the rest of the song.  Somehow it all works together well.  Good job, School of Seven Bells!
