What to see:
- Misterwives sold out Union Transfer tonight. With up–and–coming openers like BØRNS and Handsome Ghost, the show’s bound to be a good one. If you can't snag tix, read on, you jilted indie lover.
- Go see The Dodos at Johnny Brenda’s tonight (Thursday). The gig has huge potential, considering the vivid new album the band released last month. As an added bonus, there's a big possibility of '08 throwbacks. Tickets still on sale, all ages, kiddies.
What to listen to:
- Imagine Dragons dropped their new album Smoke + Mirrors last Tuesday. General consensus is that they sound pretty much the same. Maybe it’s one of those “why–fix–what’s–not–broken” sort of things. We’ll let you decide.
- José Gonzalez released his first solo album since 2007 last week. Consider it the musical equivalent of extra fluff in your comforter and let José warm up those cold, lonely nights. Check out "Let it Carry You."
What to look out for:
- Arcade Fire’s Will Butler will be writing a song per day for a week (started on 2/23) based on newspaper headlines from The Guardian. Each track will premiere on the paper’s website.
- Sufjan Stevens released a new single “No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross” from his upcoming album Carrie & Lowell, revealing a return to his lo–fi roots.
