Brooklyn's Leapling released their Losing Face EP back in January via Father/Daughter. On it, the band merges pastoral pop with more motorik/Krauty rhythms, making for a very appealing listen. Opening track "Nature Must Not Win" is especially nice. You can stream the whole thing below.

The band are currently working on their debut full-length and may trot out a few of those new numbers tonight (5/6) when they play Shea Stadium with Ava Luna, Toronto's Moon King and The Can't Tells. Advance tickets are still available. If you can't make it tonight, Leapling's next scheduled NYC show is May 3 at Cameo. All dates are listed below.

SVIIB @ LPR, May 2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)

Bad news School of Seven Bells fans looking forward to seeing them tonight (11/28) at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Singer Alejandra de la Deheza has laryngitis, which forced them to cancel last night's show in Philadelphia and they just posted this to their Facebook:

Dear Brooklyn,

It totally breaks my heart to say this. We've had to pull out of tonight's show at Music Hall. I tried absolutely everything I could. EVERYTHING :( I'm still sick as ever. I was so looking forward to this show. I was waiting until the last minute before I called it. I was hoping so bad that I could still do it. You guys mean so much to me and I'm so sorry. We'll reschedule as soon as possible. I promise. -A
