The Stranger

Brooklyn’s School of Seven Bells create some of the slickest gothtronic, shoegazey pop this side of Zola Jesus. Now down to the duo of guitarist/producer Benjamin Curtis and silken-toned vocalist Alejandra Deheza following the departure of the latter’s sister, Claudia, in 2010, SVIIB have released three albums for the renowned Ghostly International label that are as beautiful as their members are photogenic (damn their aristocratic genes). The latest, Ghostory, swirls and surges into a ravishing, Cocteau Twins–esque ether. (Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave, www.thecrocodile.com, 8 pm, $13, 21+) by Dave Segal
