Little Racer, a 3-piece from Brooklyn are releasing their debut single via Young and Lost Club. It’s a double-A sided single featuring the songs “Split For The Coast” and “The Town”.
The first track has jangly surf rock guitars giving it a frantic feel that is all around contagious. The second A-side is “The Town” is a whimsical treat that sounds old fashioned yet refreshing. It’s one of the better tracks that I’ve heard this month, and when I say that, I mean it.
Both tracks are streaming at their bandcamp. I have a stream embeded after the jump. These are not to be missed.

School Of Seven Bells will release new album, Ghostory, on February 28 via Vagrant Records.
It’s the band’s third album, and their first as a duo, now without former member Claudia Deheza. Ghostory comes with a story in mind: The tale of a young girl named Lafaye and the ghosts that surround her life.
Vocalist Alejandra Deheza described the album with the following:
“Everyone has ghosts. They’re every love you’ve ever had, every hurt, every betrayal, every heartbreak. They follow you, stay with you. This detailed storytelling is evident from start to finish on the record, weaving a tale that moves between a fervent synthesized adventure and spacious lyrical euphoria.
We should be hearing some new music from the band shortly.

Alt Altman, the pop brainchild behind London artist (via Toronto) Digits, has given us the exclusive premiere of his new single, “Modern Mess”. When we last heard from Digits it was via “Lost Dream”, which I adored a great deal. So I’m really honored that Alt let us reveal his latest gem.
“Modern Mess” is slow sensual electronic music in the finest form. This is the type of stuff that will warm you up even during the coldest winter frost. It’s got a confident hook that is translated with ease through his slow, confident vocals. It’s not to be missed.
Download it below thanks to Digits himself.
