Traditional advice for anxious performers suggests that they imagine audience members in their respective underwear, yet this technique might be comprehensively reversed tonight when the audience begins mentally ogling Built for the Sea singer Lia Rose. Her vibrant yet tremulous vocals are bolstered by echoing instrumentation that crescendos and dips like a Mogwai or Godspeed You! Black Emperor track. Listeners ("friends not fans") have waited since 2006 for the group's new EP.Representing the night's purest concentration of on-stage testosterone, the all-dude trio Low Red Land will open the show with ringing guitars and coarse, corrugated vocals. They too are celebrating the completion of a new record, Dog's Hymns, along with the release of a new Dragon Slayers compilation under the Thread Productions label co-created in 2006 by themselves and showmates Tartufi. The latter is scheduled to bring the show to a reverberating close, beginning a fall U.S. tour in honor of their recently completed full-length Nest of Waves and Wire. 3 bands enter, 4 new albums leave in the hands of fans... I mean, friends.
Watch a song from Built for the Sea's November, 2006 concert in San Francisco here.
