"How could I have known The god of my youth Would come crashing down on my heart? I thought that I knew love That love was a scornful thing That fed on a fading flame that held The world together for me And when it died I fell apart..." The opening lines to album opener and title track 'Ablaze', very poignant and emotional. A fitting tribute to Ben Curtis who passed away in 2013, indeed the final album by the band, completed posthumously by Alejandra Deheza (Claudia had left the band in 2010) using the demos Ben had been working on prior to and during his illness. In equal measure joyous and uplifting, sad and heartbreaking, the album gave final closure to the band upon release in 2016, as Alejandra announced this would be the final record by SVIIB. #SchoolOfSevenBells #SVIIB #Ablaze #FullTimeHobbyRecords #AlejandraDeheza #BenCurtisRIP #ClaudiaDeheza #purplevinyl #Vinyladdict #shoegaze #dreampop #dreamrock #electronics #indierock (at Birmingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9xTLlMHa32/?igshid=1vv5k2iz5emyw
