On!Air!Library! was an American post-rock/ambient/experimental rock band from New York City. Twin sisters Claudia and Alejandra Deheza formed the group with Phillip Wann in 1998.[1] Through playing at local venues and parties, the trio eventually landed a deal with Arena Rock Recording Co. in 2002, and in 2003, a split record with The Album Leaf exposed the band to a wider audience, paving the way for their full-length, self-titled, debut album in 2004.[2] That same year, they embarked on a nationwide tour with Interpol and The Secret Machines. In 2005, On! Air! Library! disbanded. The Deheza sisters both became involved in a new project, School of Seven Bells, with former Secret Machines guitarist Benjamin Curtis.[3] Wann also started a new band, Daylight's for the Birds, which released its first album in 2006.[4]
