Little Comets

Little Comets are an indie rock-quartet from Sunderland and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. They are described to play ‘kitchen sink indie’ music, citing Debussy, Roald Dahl, Ella Fitzgerald and Paul Simon as influences. In early 2009 the band were signed to Columbia Records and are due to release their debut album In Search of Elusive Little Comets on 31 January 2011.

On 9 February 2009, the band released their debut single, «One Night in October» as both a digital download and a vinyl. The single received praise from BBC Radio 1 DJs Huw Stephens, Zane Lowe and Sara Cox, all of whom played the song on their respective shows. The single debuted at number 3 on the independent chart, having been released through Lucky Number Records.

Having signed with Columbia Records during 2008, the band then proceeded to releasing their second single, «Adultery», which was released on 26 October 2009. The band began promotion of the single through touring as a support for bands such as Hockey, The Twang and The Noisettes.

The band revealed in November 2010 that their debut album In Search of Elusive Little Comets will be released in the UK on 31 January 2011 both digitally and physically. The album is produced by their guitarist Michael Coles and mixed by Rich Costey, who had previously worked with MGMT and Glasvegas. The album will be preceded by a release of «Joanna» on 17 January 2011.
