Loretta added her vid to my post on YouTube about Melody.
That’s how you use social media.
With a tweak to her high notes…
Pretty stunning though.
This deserves to go Viral.

School Of Seven Bells – Ghostory (2012)

Sean — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 13:34:54 +0000

If you liked their previous two releases, then there will be no surprises here.
If you haven’t tried them out, I suggest you start with their first release Alpinisms.

Tech Issues Sunday 12th Feb 2012

Sean — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:24:48 +0000

It seems GoDaddy (where I have my hosting for NotPop) is having issues serving up this website.
Unusual for them.
Sorry if this is spoiling your Sunday evening exploring new sounds.
We will see how it looks in the morning.
