What the label says:

From the breathing clouds of the living mountain emerge School of Seven Bells and their dazzling 12-inch debut, Face to Face on High Places. Benjamin Curtis, formerly of Secret Machines, leads the esoteric cabal. Heliospheric guitar invocations with that band garnered him considerable distinction, as have collaborations with Michael Rother of Neu!/Kraftwerk and U2's Bono. Alternately, the rhythm rises from the underground; bassist James Elilott records ambient electronica as the critically acclaimed Ateleia, while the guitar armies of minimalist legend Rhys Chatham march to drummer Joe Stickney's beat. At the center are twin sisters Alejandra and
Claudia Deheza. Their achievements with On! Air! Library! are substantial; multi-instrumentalist Claudia has also worked extensively with Prefuse 73 and A Cloud Mireya. Together, their celestial vocal arrangements and lush, transcendental songsmithing cast the irresistibly intense psychomagical spell that illuminates School of Seven Bells. Face to Face on High Places is a dizzying whorl -- from the pounding ecstasies of the title track, to the mystic lyricism and lucid dreamscaping of "s.Ada.Licht" and the mesmeric groove of "Limb By Limb." Luminous voices beckon from the far side of a mirage; whispered electronic infernos are swept away by raging torrents of percussion. Submit to School of Seven Bells, then ascend atop a thousand cyclones to a plain of infinite bliss. CLEAR, LASER-ETCHED 12-INCH EP; BEAUTIFULLY PACKAGED WITH METALLIC INKS; LIMITED-EDITION, VINYL-ONLY RELEASE. TRACK LISTING: 1. Limb by Limb (4:28), 2. Face to Face on High Places (8:58), 3. s.Ada.Licht (2:56)
