School of Seven Bells- Alpinisms (Released 10/28/08)

Cast into the mile-high, airy tumult of the mountaincore music scene, School of Seven Bells stays afloat with bouyant beats and soaring vocals. Beginning with "Iamundernodisguise," the near-mick sounding vocals weave a delicate ascent around the heavy bass and synth washes which open up the track. While the vocals don't sound as Irish on the slower, more lush tracks, "Iamundernodisguise" definitely realizes a sound by a certain "Zombie"-fied group from across the Irish sea. While comparisons to other bands are often useful, I find that on top of pigeonholing a sound or group into a genre, they also hurt the earstwhile dignity of the group in question, so I shan't (y) do it!
The twin vocalists (literally) are the dominant force of "Alpinisms," traversing the songs in what amounts to rock-structured (The genre) peaks and valleys. Undeniably catchy, the group provides many handholds within the songs to enable the listener to scale their igneus tower of stratospheric electronica.
Feel free to listen to the song and let your spirit soar through their foggy mountains if you like it!
