<p>School Of Seven Bells (often stylized as SVIIB) was an American indie rock, shoegaze and dream pop band from New York City. Formed in 2007, the band consisted of Alejandra Deheza (vocals, guitar), her sister Claudia Deheza (keyboards, vocals) and Benjamin Curtis (guitar, synthesizers, vocals). After Claudia's departure in 2010 and Benjamin's unfortunate passing due to lymphoma in 2013, the band completed their fourth album using demos of songs written by Curtis during his illness. The posthumously released album titled "SVIIB" showcases their unique sound and serves as a testament to their musical legacy.</p>

'SVIIB' is the final School Of Seven Bells album produced by Justin Meldal Johnsen.

It was in the summer of 2012 that SVIIB was written 'I can easily say that it was one of the most creative and inspired summers of our lives' Deheza recounts 'What followed was the most tragic soul shaking tidal wave that life could ever deliver but even that wouldn't stop the vision for this record being realized.' 

It was in the fall of 2012 that Curtis was diagnosed with a rare form of T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. Less than a year later Deheza would be the sole member of the group. Benjamin Curtis passed away on December 29 2013.

In 2014 Deheza moved to Los Angeles to finish the record with Justin Meldal Johnsen. 'I'm trying to feature Benjamin as much as possible' Meldal Johnsen says, 'As soon as Alley was settled in LA it took the two only a month and a half to finish the record.' 

'This is a love letter from start to finish. It's the story of us starting from that first day we met in 2004 and that's the story of School of Seven Bells' Alley says, 'When I see those roman numerals I just think of an era.'
