Melbourne-via-Adelaide's Summer Flake aka Stephanie Crase has just dropped the first single ’Shoot And Score’ off her sophomore record Hello Friends which is set drop on April 8. Drenched in a timelessness of reverb, ’Shoot And Score’ enlists winding and mesmerising guitars and underscores straight-shooting lyrics.

Grace is turning heads and ears with her new single “NoLo.” The track comes from her new EP, RACEDAY [Casablanca/Republic Records]. Co-produced by Mark Foster of Foster the People and Rich Costey (Muse, Flying Lotus, Of Monsters and Men, and Foster the People), NoLo is venturing into new territory. And although it’s  inspired by a break up, it is one catchy track.
