Feeling a bit of a chill? Lights flickering all of a sudden? That would probably by the icy presence of School Of Seven Bells whose new album Ghostory is an ever-so-slightly ridiculous concept LP, based around a "young girl called Lafaye and the ghosts in her life". Well let's put that nonsense to one side for a moment and enjoy the rather wondrous album opener, The Night. Glacial, sensual and anything but dead in the water, its propulsive slinkiness is as compelling as the sweet, sweeping vocals of Alejandra Deheza, a woman who could make a shopping list sound dreamy. Things that go bump in the night have rarely sounded this enticing.
