With 2008’s self-released EP, which Stereogum called “windswept and ambitious, but intensely personalized and spare”, almost out of print, Bell (Olga is now joined by band mates Jason Nazary and Gunnar Olsen) has two never before heard recordings for this hand-numbered 7”/digital release. “Magic Tape” rides a wave of glitches and dreamy vocals before crashing into a synth-heavy, stuck-in-your-head-for-days chorus, while “Housefire 2.0” finds the trio drastically reworking the EP standout “Housefire” with blips, beeps, dripping keyboards, and larger than life percussion.
