self-titled - no. 3 - (Page 35) By ANDREW PARKS Photos by WINONA BALLENTINE Styling by LOUIS TERLINE OF OAK F or a second there, all of this seemed like a bad idea. The freshly baked bagels, the carefully curated clothing courtesy of Oak and the members of two wildly different Brooklyn bands in the middle of it all—School of Seven Bells and Free Blood— expected to mingle and make nice despite the fact that they’d never met one another before. All this to draw a parallel between visionaries who left their proven projects—the Secret Machines and On!Air!Library! for School of Seven Bells; !!! for Free Blood—behind for a true calling of sorts. In the case of John Pugh and Madeline Davy, Free Blood’s meant treating every gig like a barrier-free basement show and spiking their slightly danceable pop songs with sheets of noise and dashes of punk-as-fuck posturing. As for Benjamin Curtis and the twin Deheza sisters, Alejandra and Claudia, well, they’ve whipped up quite a genre-less widescreen spectacle with School of Seven Bells. Just don’t compare them to the Cocteau Twins. They hate that. Come to think of it, this whole artists-reinventingthemselves-no-matter-what theme does hold together despite the divergent personalities involved. For the full, unedited story of Free Blood and School of Seven Bells, be sure to read our thorough interviews at self-titled’s daily site. For now, we’d like to present our debut fashion story (thanks again, Oak, for your patience and editing skills) with key in-their-own-words notes about the rhyme and reason behind both acts http://www.oaknyc.com http://www.thesecretmachines.com/ http://www.onairlibrary.com/ http://www.myspace.com/chkchkchk http://www.self-titledmag.com/home
