It doesn't matter if you're a fan of the band School of Seven Bells (or his previous band Secret Machines) or not. A human being who makes music and has huge medical bills needs our help. So please take a second to read this, and if you can spare the price of a pint or more, it would be a big help. If you don't have any money, the least you can do is spread the word: »
Twenty-twelve was a big year for DiS. From Jan 1st through Dec 31st there were 32,786,312 pageviews on DiS, and our Google Analytics say that there were 8,508,628 visits to the site. There was an average of 490k unique users on the site each month, and every day the equivalent of a stadium crowd arrived on DiS to have a mooch around our reviews and discussions. ... So what were you all reading in 2012? »
We love to know what the artists we love have been listening to too. So, DiS went on an email rampage and asked for some top 5s and a few sentences about why the artist loves each one. We allowed them to also pick EPs and re-issues, if they wanted to.»
Oh dear it is Friday, and oh woe is me do I need a day off, but before I disappear into a bucket of ale, here is the best of what hit my (the editor of DiS') inbox this week...»
DiS' editor shares six of his/DiS' favourite albums of the first half of 2012...plus this includes full streams of all of his record picks..._»
February may be the shortest month of the year but what it lacked in days, it made up for in releases. Here's our editors picks of the month in a (hopefully) digestible format including our albums of the month and a Spotify playlist, as well as the most read pages of February's 2,677,492 pageviews.»
If you follow DiS' editor on Twitter or have seen the "School of Seven Bells new album is brilliant" thread on our board, you'll be aware there is a lot of love in the air for the third album from Brooklyn-based disco-gaze duo Benjamin Curtis and Alejandra Deheza.»
New video!»
School Of Seven Bells release their second album, Disconnect From Desire, very shortly indeed. On July 12, in fact. You can, however, listen to the whole thing in its entirety beforehand, as it's up on their MySpace. »
As reported last week, three-piece, two faces trio School of Seven Bells are set to return with their second full-length LP in July. Given the quality abundant in their first album, Alpimisms, we hold out high hopes on the new one. Thankfully we can now »
Brooklyn trio School Of Seven Bells have announced the release date and title of their forthcoming second record, the follow-up to 2008's Alpimisms, a record which we liked very, very much. So, needless to say that we've got high hopes. Please don't disappoint (via OneThirtyBPM).»
This is a new one, in name at least. An 'alternate' version album from the School of Seven Bells is what they're releasing, for last year's SMASH HIT Alpinisms. Yes, we are certain that it's just a pretty much re-badged 'outtakes' sort of record, but they're calling it an alternate version, so it'd be rude not to at least humour them.»

A selection of video tasties from the last few days and weeks for you. Thankfully none of them involve F.C. Barcelona or North Korean rockets, though the Pendulum one may have you yearning for destruction on an unprecedented scale.»
DiS trawls through all the recent music news so you don't have to.»
As part of our year-end round-up we've asked some musicians to tell us what their favourite five albums of 2008 are. Not just any ol' music makers, mind. We've spoken to the creators of some of our albums of this year, as well as some fresh-faced folks with records ready in the wings for 2009 plaudits. In part three Hauschka, School of Seven Bells, F^cked Up, Frightened Rabbit and No Age tell us which five records they loved in 2008.»
Secret Machines' Brandon Curtis has announced via the band's own online message board that his brother and group co-founder Ben is no longer a member of the band...»
