Alpinisms, the debut album from New York's School of Seven Bells, came out on Ghostly International on October 28, 2008, from a trio built around two sisters' voices: Alejandra Deheza on vocals and guitar, Claudia Deheza on keyboards and vocals, with Benjamin Curtis on guitar and synthesizers. They had only formed the year before, and took their name from a South American school for pickpockets that may or may not have existed.
The record is a gorgeous blur, dream pop and shoegaze haze stretched over electronic pulses, the sisters' harmonies braided so tight they turn into one strange instrument. Vagrant Records gave it a second life with a reissue in July 2009, and it reached number 17 on the UK Independent Albums Chart.
