When: Thursday, 11.7, 7 p.m.
Where: Bluebird Theater
Why: The latest Frankie Cosmos album is called Close It Quietly (out on Sub Pop) which is a title reflecting the tender, sensitive and utterly sincere quality of Greta Kline’s songwriting and psychologically insightful lyrics. Stephen Steinbrink’s golden voice and talent for inventive soundscapes in his pop songs has been brewing for more than a decade while he toured regularly in the DIY world. His 2018 album Utopia Teased is a pinnacle of his recorded output with a diverse array of moods and textures.

What: Houndmouth w/Kyle Emerson
When: Friday, 11.8, 8 p.m.
Where: Bluebird Theater
Why: Kyle Emerson’s new album Only Coming Down is a thoughtful collection of songs written while the songwriter was splitting his time between his adopted home of Denver and Los Angeles. Emerson is from norther Ohio but moved to Denver in his late teens/early 20s where he fell in with an up and coming psychedelic pop band Plum which made waves before moving to the City of Angels and, as is often the cliché, broke up shortly thereafter. Since then Emerson moved back to the Mile High City where he established himself as a solo artist with the release of his sophisticated and introspective, folk inflected pop album Dorothy Alice. For this set of shows he’s opening for bluesy indie rock band Houndmouth from Indiana.

NECROPANTHER Photo — Necropanther, photo courtesy the artists

What: Necropanther w/Methane, Incarnit, Draghoria
When: Saturday, 11.9, 8 p.m.
Where: Hi-Dive
Why: Death/thrash metal band Necropanther from Denver is celebrating the release of its latest album The Doomed City although it has those great, distorted vocals that you’d expect from a black metal outfit there’s always been something tuneful and catchy about the band’s output.

What: Pink Hawks’ Scorpio Party: Pink Hawks, Los Mocochetes, Brothers of Brass, DJ A-L
When: Saturday, 11.9, 8:30 p.m.
Where: Ophelia’s

Sunday | November 10

Pile_ElisabethFuchsia — Pile, photo by Elisabeth Fuchsia

What: Pile w/Slow Code and Moon Pussy
When: Sunday, 11.10, 8:30 p.m.
Where: Fox Theatre
Why: Pile formed in 2007, the same year as the Canadian band Women, and has exerted a similarly strong influence on underground guitar rock by going off the map of conventional structure, dynamics and tone. Its new album Green and Gray has all of its signature contorted and noisy angularity. Opening is Denver noise rock Moon Pussy whose Big Black-esque bluster is a revelation.

What: Vincent Comparetto Going Away Party
When: Sunday, 11.10, 7 p.m.
Where: Hi-Dive
Why: Vincent Comparetto has been calling Denver home for over 20 years and is now moving to New York City. He got involved in the skating community in the 90s and discovered the local world’s punk and post-punk communities and has been avidly documenting the music scene and the cityscape for years as can be found in his ‘zines Follow Focus, particulary #2 in which he shared several of his shots of shows and the arts world in Denver. Here’s a public chance to say farewell to one of local cultures most cordial and thoughtful preservers of what has been and advocates for what is going on.

What: FUTUREBIRDS w/Rowboat and Paul DeHaven
When: Sunday, 11.10, 7 p.m.
Where: Globe Hall

Monday | November 11

hippocampus-creditpoonehghana — Hippo Campus, photo by Pooneh Ghana

What: Hippo Campus w/The Greeting Committee
When: Monday, 11.11, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Boulder Theater
Why: Hippo Campus released two albums in 2019 as Demos I and Demos II. While they sound a bit like the titles suggest and recorded between 2017 and 2018, the spare, raw quality of the recordings actually serve to highlight the band’s songwriting further. Its 2018 album Bambi showcased its knack for expertly produced pop songs while the new batch of material is almost the polar opposite like the experiments Magnetic Fields have engaged in over the years with its creative and varied use of technology in songwriting and processing sounds. But whatever its approach, Hippo Campus has proven its mastery of dynamics and tone.

Aquabats-ApprovedPress — Aquabats, photo courtesy the artists

What: The Aquabats
When: Monday, 11.11, 7 p.m.
Where: Gothic Theatre
Why: It’s odd to think that The Aquabats has been around for over twenty-five years now. Hailing from Huntington Beach, California, the quintet’s mixture of ska, punk and pop is as surreal as it is playful. Its singer The MC Bat Commander (aka Christian Jacobs) is better known for his involvement with the kids’ show Yo Gabba Gabba! these days but The Aquabats was a good natured send-up of the Orange County punk scene as the opposite of a macho, violent band. Instead The Aquabats have assumed the personae of super heroes and its multi-media presentation through its own TV shows and sillymusic videos has allowed the band to transcend not just genre appeal but appeal beyond the realm of punk and ska, which the group has long since left behind in favor of greater musical diversity in its songwriting. Go expecting more than just a musical performance, expect the full integration of that with theater and comedy routines and special guest performers along with its usual incorporation of the audience into the proceedings as well.

What: RAREBYRD$, Staple (WI), Gone Full Heathen, Heathen Burial and Denizens of the Deep
When: Monday, 11.11, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Glitter City

What: Ulthar w/Nightfell, Malum Mortuus and Saeva
When: Monday, 11.11, 8 p.m.
Where: Hi-Dive

What: Decide Today (ex-Realicide), Watabou, Church Fire and Techno Allah
When: Monday, 11.11, 8 p.m.
Where: Rhinoceropolis

Tuesday | November 12

EmeraldSiam_Apr28_2018_TomMurphy — Emerald Siam, photo by Tom Murphy

What: Elephant Stone w/Frankie and the Witch Fingers and Emerald Siam
When: Tuesday, 11.12, 7 p.m.
Where: Hi-Dive
Why: Elephant Stone’s psychedelic pop songs have weathered the glut of wannabe psychedelic rock of the past several years by going beyond the tropes and creating transcendent melodies incorporating traditional Indian musical styles and methods for a sound that seems to drift in from some brighter realm than our own. Frankie and the Witch Fingers is a little more traditionally garage psyche but the sheer momentum of its performances elevates it beyond the languid pace and laid back style we’ve come to expect all while maintaining a delicacy of feeling. Emerald Siam from Denver has some of that psychedelic garage rock in its musical DNA but is more like a moody, dark, post-punk band that discovered that musical catharsis comes from overcoming one’s personal momentum rather than sinking deeper into it.

What: FKA Twigs
When: Tuesday, 11.12, 7 p.m.
Where: Mission Ballroom
Why: FKA Twigs brilliantly fuses downtempo with experimental electronic music. Her new album Magdalene is basically an environmental noise record with elements of R&B and soul in a pop format in the foreground.

What: Big Freedia w/Low Cut Connie
When: Tuesday, 11.12, 7 p.m.
Where: Gothic Theatre
Why: Big Freedia’s “sissy bounce” is like some hip-hop performance art spell-casting that is disorienting yet utterly riveting.

What: At the Heart of the World w/Lowfaith and Polyurethane
When: Tuesday, 11.12, 7 p.m.
Where: Rhinoceropolis

Wednesday | November 13

TheCoathangers_JeffForney — The Coathangers, photo by Jeff Forney

What: The Coathangers w/Control Top and Rocket Dust
When: Wednesday, 11.13, 7 p.m.
Where: Lost Lake
Why: The Coathangers have evolved a lot since the incendiary and thrilling chaos of their earlier punk rock without losing any of that raw power. Now touring for The Devil You Know, The Coathangers have completely integrated its instinct for tearing down convention with sharply focused songwriting.

What: Sun Seeker w/Duncan Fellows
When: Wednesday, 11.13, 7 p.m.
Where: Larimer Lounge
Why: Duncan Fellows from Austin unexpectedly makes a blend of Americana, psychedelic pop and 2000s indie rock work through creative layering of instrumentation and vocals giving its songs great dynamic range and an element of unpredictability. There’s a lot of imitation in music at the moment and while Duncan Fellows may not strike some as incredibly original, give them a good listen and it becomes obvious they’re at least following their musical instincts where the mood flows rather than where pre-existing style suggests. In that way the group is a bit like Foxygen and Unknown Mortal Orchestra without sounding like either. Its use of synths as a full compositional element sets it apart from most of its peers as well as heard put to full effect on the group’s latest release the Eyelids Shut EP.

What: MONO w/Bell Witch
When: Wednesday, 11.13, 7 p.m.
Where: Ophelia’s

What: The Get Up Kids w/Kevin Devine and The Whiffs
When: Wednesday, 11.13, 7 p.m.
Where: Oriental Theater

What: Mr. Phylzzz w/Simulators, Church Van and Moon Pussy
When: Wednesday, 11.13, 8 p.m.
Where: Glitter City

Hollowlove’s Brooding “River of Crows” is the Soundtrack to a Grand Adventure Fraught With Peril

HOLLOWLOVE-ALBUM-COVER_crop — Hollowlove, self-titled cover (cropped)

The throbbing hum of low end coursing through “River of Crows” by Hollowlove as misty synths float over top alongside the sound of the titular birds cawing in the distance sounds like the soundtrack to a long lost 80s science fiction or fantasy movie. The music video suggests a mythical take on urban decay and hazy imagery akin to Children of Men or, in a lighter mood, the next Dash Shaw film. The track meanders with menace and dark promise of the mysterious path ahead with the crows as harbingers of something approaching out of sight. At times it’s reminiscent, moodwise, of the part of Apocalypse Now when Willard and crew reach the haven of Kurtz but have not yet met the Colonel. As crows are both a symbol of ill fortune and intelligence and destiny it’s perfect for a song that sounds like we’re in for a great adventure fraught with peril. Listen to the instrumental track on Soundcloud, watch the video and follow Hollowlove at the links below where you can listen to the rest of the project’s entrancing self-titled album.

KIN CAPA’s “Queen of the ‘Niles” is a Brilliant Use of the Metaphor of Human Civilization as Celebrity Diva on the Subject Ducking Addressing Climate Change

KIN_CAPA2_crop — KIN CAPA, photo courtesy Lee Capa

The new KIN CAPA single “Queen of the ‘Niles” from The American Opera: Act II might be too clever for its own good. Couched in a sort of sound design production style, the song feels like an experience presented as much as well-crafted pop song with no short measure of creative ambition. The rousing choruses outline the various ways our civilization has failed to grow up (the “Queen of Juveniles”) and the multiple ways its been in denial about its direct role in the destruction of the planet and the consequences that have been crashing into our lives for more than a few years now while America and other world powers are busy telling themselves how great they are and that they can put off the impending disaster for some future date that never seems to come. Capa’s use of the diva, the kind that can’t be bothered with the petty, everyday concerns of “regular” people lacking extreme privilege, as metaphor for the attitude our societies take toward Mother Nature’s not so gentle warnings is brilliant and clever taking what could be a bluntly topical song about climate change to the level of art without blunting the message. Listen to “Queen of the ‘Niles” on Spotify and follow KIN CAPA at his website linked below.

Lochie Earl’s “Superyacht Party” Is a Gloriously Self-Aware Pop Song About Income Inequality and Social Injustice

LochieEarl2_crop — Lochie Earl “Superyacht Party” cover (cropped)

“Superyacht Party” is a bit of a different flavor for multi-instrumentalist, producer and drummer for Gypsys of Pangea, Lochie Earl. It was inspired by his having taken an Uber home one day with a Pakistani driver who had an engineering degree that wasn’t considered valid in Australia so he worked in retail and drove Uber with the rest of his time so that he could bring his family over to Turtle Island and hopefully a better life. The song starts out like an odd but evocative 80s lounge pop song written after having your mind blown by a bummer story, as it happens to be, and your mind aswirl with the hard realities so many people face and the opportunities they never have due to class and legal status. They have to take jobs that more privileged people would never countenance, deal with horrible work situations that make one think things like the Simpsons quip where Homer once said, “Kill my boss? Do I dare live out the American dream?” and otherwise settle for extremely diminished expectations. While some get to go to those superyacht parties of the song title and worry about things like Tinder matches. From the initial lounge sound the song kicks up in sound and dynamics like the end of The Beatles’ “A Day in the Life” before Lochie offers the line about Tinder matches as if throwing out such a trivial concern when compared with hustling and grinding away in a society that generally treats you like trash. Not only does Earl address the immigrant situation but also the lingering injustices suffered by Australia’s Aborigines population. It is a rare sensitive take on a sensitive subject and a great pop song to boot. Listen for yourself on Soundcloud.

Wax Heart Sodality’s Rousing Post-punk Anthem “Alphas” Calls For Cutting Out the Marketing Culture-Driven Generational Conflict

WaxHeartSodality1_crop — Wax Heart Sodality, photo courtesy the artists

The concept of Wax Heart Sodality is that of a secret society against despair and more, to take those down low and take them to their potential heights. Or at least that seems to be the aim outlined in the sort of short origin story video below the Spotify player below. The group’s debut single “Alphas” is the story of a frustration with the kinds of bully alpha males many of us grew up knowing and who grew up to be authoritarian personality types who think Brexit or Donald Trump or Jair Bolsonaro are perfectly fine. But also with the mentality of “generation alpha,” the children of millennials who are tech savvy and imagine themselves more informed and thus superior in some ways to previous generations but due to the inescapable realities of age and lack of life experience do not possess the knowledge and perspective to be aware of their own blind spots just like all previous generations in their youth and the myriad social and psychological problems not yet understood, acknowledged or dealt with in a humane and productive way. On the surface the driving pace of the song and its melancholic tone seems to be a both sides critique but in the end it’s really a call to cut with the praise of generations as the clear tool of marketing and the oligarchy to flatter and divide. Which is a much more nuanced perspective than self-congratulations on not being a “Boomer,” an apathetic “Gen X-er” or smugly vitriolic casting aspersions on “millennials” and “Gen Z” and their supposed laziness and subpar taste in music and so-called culture. But even if one doesn’t want to engage in the finer points of the song, it’s a rousing post-punk anthem with momentum and splintered yet brooding melody delivered by a band intentionally keeping its identities under wraps for the moment at a time when there’s not a lot of mystery in the world of music, art and culture. Listen to “Alphas” (recorded by Steven Bardgett of Mouses) on Spotify, watch the Anonymous-esque origin story video below and follow the band at the links provided.

The Sensuous and Hopeful “Krill” by shi offline is a Minimal Techno Pop Song About the Uncertain Feelings of a New Relationship

shi_offline1_crop — shi offline *Golaya* cover (cropped)

The new shi offline single “Krill” uses minimal synth swells and an evolving rhythm scheme to convey a sense of a fragile love in the early stages of its development. There is a tentative quality to the music that is somehow also evocative embodying the uncertain feelings and caution of someone who isn’t sure if committing to the feelings welling up in her is a good idea or if the potential heartbreak she senses possible is worth the risk. Akisa Tsybina’s vocals are reminiscent of a more contemplative Alice Glass while Gordian Gleiß’s production mixes a chillwave sensibility with the tonal scheme and rhythmic cadence of 1980s New Order for an effect that manages to make the song sensuous and hopeful rather than fearful of an unknown future with the object of one’s attraction and affection. The track is from the duo’s new album Golaya (released on October 18, 2019) and you can listen to it, and likely the rest of the album, on Spotify. Also below you can watch the official music video and follow shi offline ONLINE at the project’s website.

South African Producer Mark Akol and Ivorian Rapper Andy S Strike an Exciting New Sound and Style of Hip-Hop on “Nouvelle Vague”

MarkAkol3_crop — Mark Akol and Andy S “Nouvelle Vague” cover (cropped)

South African producer Mark Akol collaborated with Andy S, a rapper from Côte d’Ivoire on “Novelle Vague.” The term originally referred to the French New Wave cinema of the late 50s and 60s that involved experiments in narrative and visual style, editing and subject matter. For this song it references a new era of African hip-hop that has emerged in recent years. It starts off with a mix of menacing synth sound and laughter before Andy S goes directly into things with his energetic rap in French which one does not need to fully understand to appreciate how the rapper’s momentum and wordplay and tones jibes with the warbling/rapid swelling synth and creative samples and electronic percussion accenting and giving texture to every line, backing vocals echoing to the side. The track manages to combine an unconventional playfulness with swagger and a mood that draws you into a moment that feels like a snapshot of the future and a glimpse into the present of modern African music innovating in soundscapes much as did artists out of the Highlife and Afrobeat movements and the sort of funk Walias Band got up to with contributions from Moog/organ player Hailu Mergia. “Nouvelle Vague” sounds like it could come from anywhere on the production end because of the internationalization of software and gear and methods of recording being attainable to anyone with access to technology and the internet. But its sensibility and vocal cadence is refreshingly different and new beyond specific cultural context and thus represents a fascinating innovation in the world of hip-hop in general and thus worthy of the song title and its connection to a wider movement. Listen to the song on Soundcloud and follow Mark Akol there as well.

“A.I.A.” by War You Lost is an Urgently Melodic Indictment of the Misdeeds of American Intelligence Agencies

WarYouLost2_crop — War You Lost “The Gadget” cover (cropped)

War You Lost takes us on a tour of sounds and ideas across time on its video for “A.I.A.” The aesthetic is like something from the early 60s or mod-70s crossed with something from an Alex Cox film. With lyrics name-checking the alphabet soup of American spy agencies and words about ways these organizations have been used to carry out government repression within and without the country with nods to prominent conspiracy theories and unethical actions undertaken in the name of national interest and sowing fear, instability and misinformation to keep the public in a constant state of background flux making it easier to manipulate. Musically the swirling, edgy melodies are reminiscent of Straightjacket Fits circa Hail and 90s Hoodoo Gurus with a tuneful jangle like a darker R.E.M.. In doing so, War You Lost taps into an 80s sound without going for the obvious touchstones that have informed a broad swath of modern music while not being hemmed in with a specific movement or scene and bringing to it a vitality that makes the single repeatedly listenable. Check out the single and video on YouTube and follow War You Lost on Facebook.

Jaelee Small Explores the Complexity of Heredity and Identity on “TicToc”

JaeleeSmall1_crop — Jaelee Small, photo courtesy the artist

The spare piano progression at the beginning of Jaelee Small’s “TicToc” leads you to believe you’re in store for a simple but emotionally urgent song. But the song progresses into a more full sound in the choruses with horns, and a richer array of percussion than the metronomic time keeping when the song starts off. Along with the broadening of sound, Small’s vocals ring out and harmonize, drawing out notes and the swelling of emotions. The song is about Small’s having first been in touch with the father she never truly knew growing up and the complex emotions and confusion regarding what she was hoping to get out of the relationship before he passed away. The song also sounds like one of learning to be patient with yourself and kind about your insecurities and accepting that personal growth isn’t a step-by-step, liner process of progression for anyone and that identity is never as simple as discovering your roots, your genetic background or connecting with a subculture or any other demographical facts. Although a short song at two minutes thirty-one seconds, Small’s song seems to evoke that complexity alongside the deep human yearning to know. Listen to “TicToc” on Soundcloud and follow Jaelee Small at the links provided.

“Hands” by Seatkickr is a Song About Needing Someone Who Will Stand by Us Through Times of Trouble and Not Give Up

Seatkickr2_crop — Seatkickr, photo courtesy the artist

Sofie Milito as Seatkickr creates the perfect combination of sense memory imagery with a wistful melody and rhythms on her new single “Hands.” What begins as impressionistic thoughts evolves into a yearning and urgently melancholic declaration of what is so missing from our lives and past relationships. Those we wanted to have, those we thought we had, those that didn’t satisfy our deep needs but we wanted them to so desperately even if we couldn’t acknowledge that desperation within our own hearts but we sure felt what was lacking in a tactile if subconscious way. In singing “We just want someone to fight for us,” Milito articulates a need that we don’t often get to put out there that is someone in our lives close to us who isn’t passive about their love and concern for us beyond their immediate needs and consideration for their own comfort. Because sometimes we need someone who will fight for us whether that’s in standing up for us or to us or getting through times of struggle and not just giving up.
