School of Seven Bells: Alpinisms - CD Review

Feb 22, 2009, 3:24pm

What I am about to say would likely get me punched in the nose by any indie rock fan who takes him/herself (and by extension, his/her musical tastes and collection) too seriously: School of Seven Bells' Alpinisms reminds me of Enya. This next thing would likely get me kicked out of the record store: I mean the comparison between SVIIB (the acronym is of their own making) and Enya to be no slight: I unabashedly love Enya, and many of the qualities I love in Enya are present in Alpinisms.
