Asheville-based psychedelic indie pop rocker outfit The Tills arose from the ashes of its former, and apparently legally bound name, The Critters, in January after receiving a cease-and-desist phone call from the 1960s pop band of the same name. The local obliged and promptly released its new album, Mixtape Vol. 1, a frenzied 13-track outburst of songs that plows through static psychedelia, punk-savvy chanting and angelic, drifting pop melodies that drop listeners deep into ’60s-era British Invasion. New albums go hand-in-hand with new shows: The Tills take the stage at at Emerald Lounge on Saturday, April 19, at 9 p.m. Atlanta-based rock band Baby Baby, local alt-indie outfit The Luxury Spirit and Tills side project The Gentleman Callers also perform. $5. emeraldlounge.com.
