Digits is Alt Altman, a melancholy electronic pop artist based in Toronto who has opened for Junior Boys, YACHT, Diamond Rings, Doldrums, Cadence Weapon, and Blue Hawaii. In April 2012, Digits released Death and Desire, and quickly went from an unknown to a critical darling, culminating in a review in The Guardian calling it “a near classic of mournful electronica, a synth-pop album to stand alongside the Human League’s Dare.” This was followed by music videos premiered by The Fader and Noisey. Digits distributes his albums digitally free of charge to anybody who can prove they’ve bought something recently from another musician, a distribution method Wired called “bold and brave.”
