Downsizing, it seems, has even hit the music world. Of electro-popsters School Of Seven Bells, Benjamin Curtis stays, but one Deheza sister (Claudia) has moved on – though a spot of double-tracking means it’s business as usual on that front. Their third album is about a lady surrounded by ghosts – metaphorical and physical – set to ethereal synth-pop and shoegaze that departs only slightly from their earlier canon. The mixture of jangle pop, drum machines and feedback makes ‘When You Sing’ a dead ringer for My Bloody Valentine’s seminal ‘Soon’, while the glam electro stomp of ‘Low Times’ is pure Goldfrapp. Fun, if a little two-dimensional.
