...seems easy to pigeonhole on first listen, it’s defined by contradictions—an accessible beat-driven album that takes its title from a poem by Poet Laureate Mark Strand; a downtempo album that actually has lyrical content; an electronica album comprised largely of organic instruments. Vocalist Margaret Fiedler even lends wispy guitar sounds to the mix, and with skittering electronic beats complemented by drummer Lou Ciccotelli, Laika seem to move in spheres close to those of their Russian cosmodog namesake...
...Note CDs “In the Moment” and “The Calling.” Ms. Reeves boasts a three-octave range and “a melody like no other” (Billboard, 2002). With a three-octave range and a powerfully expressive delivery, vocalist Reeves won two back-to-back Grammys in 2001 and 2002 (after three nominations) for the Blue Note CDs In the Moment and The Calling. She expects to release a new Blue Note CD this fall. 8 p.m. $27.50, $22.50. Sanders Theatre...
...Roots are making some changes. The group plans to start recording a new album this month, for release next year. A guitarist, Kirk Douglas (nope, not that Kirk, and yes, he's heard the jokes), has been added to the core lineup--Thompson, vocalist Black Thought, keyboardist Kamal and bassist Hub. Another guitarist, Martin Luther (not that one either), will also play on some cuts...
AERIAL LOVE FEED. With bursts of powerful, punky guitar riffs and electronic loops, this Brooklyn quintet’s sound borders on trip-hop. Vocalist Wade Settle’s broadcast style washes over the rest of the band to create the engulfing waves that other live performers lack. The show opens with Laguardia, The Cignal and December Sound. Friday, August 15 at 9 p.m. $9. Upstairs at The Middle East Club, 472 Mass...
SUPERHONEY. Combining the sounds of 60s soul and light rock, singer Joan Pimentel delivers stylized vocals that got her the nomination for Best Female Vocalist at the Boston Music Awards three years in a row. The funky trio has performed with the likes of George Clinton, among other greats, and their acclaim as a great undiscovered band suggests they may not remain undiscovered for long. Amusia warms up the stage. Saturday, August 16 at 9 p.m. $11. The House of Blues, 96 Winthrop...
