    <description><![CDATA[Born in Moscow and raised in Alaska, Olga Bell was bilingual at two years old. At three she made up chromatic songs about ghosts, at four she attempted to sing multiple string parts at the same time after seeing an inspired Bolshoi production of Swan Lake. She played baroque sonatas on the recorder at five, started piano at seven, wrote a four-hand keyboard suite by the time she was nine, won a concerto competition at ten, and (gasp!) discovered pop music at eleven. After graduating from the New England Conservatory in Boston, Bell moved to New York, got a laptop and began writing and programming simple songs, and the rest is (relative) history.
 
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.]]></description>
