(Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi) If you’re like me and you kinda forgot that No Age exists, here’s great news: No Age still exists, they still rule, they have a new album out on Drag City called Snares Like a Haircut, and it totally rules, too. With singer-songwriter SiR on the lineup as well, this show is guaranteed to be legendary. Personally, I’m dying to hear singles “Told You So,” “Sky Walker” and “Pineapple Skies,” (the music videos for which make an irrefutable case for seeing the tour). (Roseland, 8 NW 6th) Ever since releasing his self-produced first single, “Adorn” in 2012, neo-soul singer Miguel Pimentel has continued to impress (and arouse) audiences with his musical output-from that Mariah Carey collab “#Beautiful” to the 2015 song “Simplethings.” Two record labels and four excellent studio albums later, Miguel’s touring in support of his new project, War & Leisure. (Revolution Hall, 1300 SE Stark) Read our story on Bedouine. This is his first tour of the West Coast, and who knows when (or if) he’ll ever be back. You know how some psych bands have no tunes? And some pop bands try too hard to introduce psych elements into their sound? Tuttle strikes a perfect balance, over and over again. His three most recent albums-2014’s self-titled, 2016’s It Calls on Me, and 2017’s Peace Potato-are all rock-solid collections of pitch-perfect psych-pop that’s fuzzy, jangling, endlessly melodic, and just a little bit weird. For years, the New England longhair has been a bright light in the psychedelic underground, first as co-founder of the New Hampshire band Mmoss and more recently as a Boston-based solo artist. (The Know, 3738 NE Sandy) People of Portland, I beseech you: Do not miss Doug Tuttle tonight at The Know.
SUZETTE SMITHĭOUG TUTTLE, SAM KOGON, THE VERNER PANTONS, FRENZ It’s great, if shiveringly sentimental in some places, and feels like what everyone needs to have on their playlist right now: a sweet-tempered view on being busy and in love by a man who always smiles when he sings. (But it’s good, so who cares?) Half-Light continues the work fans have come to associate with Rostam-namely, his imaginings of baroque-pop song sequels to the Mark Mothersbaugh instrumentals from The Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack. By the time fans got their hands on his hotly anticipated solo debut, Half-Light, the powerhouse multi-instrumentalist had already released most of the songs on the record. (Doug Fir, 830 E Burnside) Though he’s best known for producing hits for stars like Carly Rae Jepsen and Solange and playing with Vampire Weekend (which he left in 2016), Rostam Batmanglij has been quietly releasing his own electronic pop songs for the past six years. lang effectively shatters their power, as will undoubtedly be the case once again during tonight’s concert celebrating the 25th anniversary of Ingénue. Adjectives have their limits, however, and k.d. And that voice? Reminiscent of Wayne Newton, Dinah Washington, and Elvis, the vocal prowess that the gods have bestowed upon this particular human has inspired an expansive range of praise from hordes of music writers over the years.

Experienced a quarter-century later, the record (which lang once described as “post-nuclear cabaret”) retains its full power and will forever be intertwined with her trailblazing disclosure. This courageous revelation essentially coincided with the release of her album Ingénue-10 sultry tracks steeped in the unique timbres of lap steel guitar, accordion, vibraphone, and pizzicato strings, seductively fleshed out with gauzy lyrics of unrequited love and spiritual longing. Shortly after her departure from Nashville in 1992, when being gay in the pre-internet public sphere was almost exclusively attached to dying of AIDS and living in sin, lang unapologetically proclaimed she dug other women and instantly became an icon for queers around the globe. First, the moxie: Despite an early career marked by growing critical acclaim and prestigious country music awards, lang ultimately acknowledged the industry had little regard for a gender-bending vegetarian with cropped hair, and promptly quit the repressive scene. The two-fold answer lies in this brilliant performer’s unwavering moxie and the supernatural voice she commands with bewildering, effortless, and heart-wrenching precision. lang, you might be wondering how a one-hit wonder from the early ’90s manages to sell out a 2,700-seat concert hall well over a month before show time.
