“Like Alice Cooper without the snake”
Despite what its name might suggest, Chvrches’ Saturday, Nov. 29 show was neither quiet nor mired in reverence. Not that the audience at the sold-out show was expecting hymns, but from the opening notes of “We Sink” (a song far more buoyant that submerging), Chvrches provided its own dancey brand of ecclesiastical experience.

Ticket giveaway: Black Moth Super Rainbow
Black Moth Super Rainbow is a psychedelic exercise in contradictions. It’s vocals are processed into a robotic hum, and it’s melodies emanate from a host of synthesizers well suited for a sci-fi soundtrack. Yet there’s something undeniably organic about the warm analog effects, a lingering humanity so buoyant it survives the unrelenting tide of mechanics.
