SVIIB are releasing a new album on February 12th, here's what Alejandra said about the album, "Friends, Benjamin and I wrote this record during a tour break in the summer of 2012. I can easily say that it was one of the most creative and inspired summers of our lives. What followed was the most tragic, soul shaking tidal wave that life could deliver, but even that wouldn't stop the vision for this record from being realized. 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. So much love to all of you. Thank you for being a constant light in our lives. This record is for you."

I've always been impressed by people's voices at a fairly young age, for instance Ozzy was around 22, just a couple years older than me, when the first two Black Sabbath records were released, Eric Burdon is another great instance of that.
