True Blossom - completely misses this has this was early Sunday show. Heard good feedback from friends who caught their set Karaoke - having missed a couple of their shows it’s been a few months. Sounding good. Ended on a new song ‘Lo-Hi’ Chris Cohen - “Chris Cohen’s songs initially sound easy. They’re each tiny jewels that unfurl at a leisurely pace, but dig a little deeper and you’ll reach a melancholy core. His previous two albums — 2012’s Overgrown Path, and 2016’s As If Apart — were built from lush, blurry tracks that embedded themselves in your subconscious, like they’d always been there.” - the opening paragraph from the earls show listing. I have to agree. It reminds me of the quieter side of yo la tengo ie “and nothing turned itself inside out”.. it requires some patience because songs are unveiling themselves in such a casual pace that one could miss it by not paying full attention. Headphone music played live. Not good for folk who like to chat in the back of the room. Chia is a former member of Deerhoof
