School of Seven Bells "Disconnect From Desire"

Whistling in a "Windstorm" never sounded so rightwith those high ringing hoos, and those captivating vocals. The "Heart is Strange" and the mind is stranger as I recall a family resemblance to this track's older brother, "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" by Dead or live in 1985; but like those under the shadow of their famous relatives make their own path. The "Dust Devil" is a long 6:02 minute track that seems to ride across a dusty desert,or score a drive over one; the beat suits that visual and the shimmery keys assist its fruition. I will not lie "I L U," which is short for you know what. It starts off with the focus on the vocals and sentiment of Deheza, but then loses some of it's power once the beat's volume rises. The airy notes have us in those clouds again, but not as high because those feelings of love are not reciprocated, she is gradually becoming ground bound.Words seem to escape me as my mind cannot produce enough eloquence to even say that "Babelonia" is good; ok, enough eloquence to say something else than that it's good. "Joviann" starts with this spacey, and desert scene intro, before "Joviann, how can I sustain moments like these/ Oh/how the time crumbles out of existence/When something has changed/And become a need/My heart is weighted with a resistance/That deadens the pain/When you're not with me" I use these dreamy vocals and shimmering keys to please, but with finger cymbals I do so with ease. A lot of these songs are just nice to listen to, and are hard to describe, so I will not describe every song, I'm not that eloquent, I'm sorry, but I try. "I dreamed my perspective was on a dial/Wired to spare me from my will/I saw my world so dimly lit I felt my heart fainting within/And I was relieved to find how freely/The cold and strange/Could set its hue/To the setting sun/To subdue the most immersive blue" is what the next song can do.The Deheza sisters start to turn the "Dial" as they instrumentals come in louder and the pace a little quicker after their dual-harmonizing after that atmospheric and long winded start ,ok a little over a minute, but it's over a fifth of the song. I doubt there were, but it sounded like there was a bagpipe there. That would be cool to change a bad mood into a good one just by turning a dial. "Bye Bye Bye" anticipation, "The Wait" is over.The hook of the former will make it hard to say goodbye whileThe latter focuses more on the vocals, and you'll be surprised by how time flies by.  You no longer have to waste your time.I do suggest playing these 7 bells: Windstorm, The Heart is Strange, Babelonia, Joviann, Dial, Bye Bye Bye, and The Wait.
