Mar 30, 2010

The Most Anticipated Albums of 2010 section in Under the Radar's Winter 2010 Issue includes a short article on School of Seven Bells' new album. Here is the full Q&A of that interview with Alejandra Deheza.

Yet, vocalist/guitarist Alejandra Deheza contends that the band's forthcoming sophomore album Disconnect From Desire is a departure from its predecessor, simply because the music and lyrics come from a different time and place. "I love Alpinisms, but I definitely think this is a way better record," she says.  More
