Iamundernodisguise

The School of Seven Bell’s Iamundernodisguise is an electronic calypso marked by ping-ponging percussion and one of the Deheza sisters’ slinkier melodies, Iamundernodisguise teases out School of Seven Bells’ sinister side within the parameters of a darkly catchy pop song. Repetition is the key here, as the Dehezas sing breathy, cryptic promises (“I am neither walker nor sleeper / I am neither sister, brother, son, nor daughter”) over and over as the beat goes on.

B-side Trance Figure (Nobody Remix) takes the Dehezas’ already-detached vocals into even more disorienting territory. West Coast producer Nobody places the sisters in abstract, dubby surroundings: as the Dehezas’ disembodied voices intone “Gods and idols are vessels that house our intentions,” Nobody’s hollow synthesizers echo the sentiment.
