PSYCHOMAGIC, MINDEN, TALKATIVE
(Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi) Portland's flock of young psych bands is growing bigger and stronger all the time, it seems, and none embodies it more so than Psychomagic, a fuzzy-minded five-piece led by a fellow named Steven Fusco. After releasing its fine debut album last year, Psychomagic is back with Bad Ideas, a 10-track collection of '60s-leaning surf-pop and psychedelic garage-rock that's so wonderfully weird and woozy, you'll wonder if you're hearing it through a funhouse mirror. Which is not to say that Bad Ideas is sloppy. In fact, Fusco and his cohorts have an impressive ability to take tight songs built out of time-honored ideas and play 'em loose without letting them derail. Bad Ideas is packed with hazy, understated psych-pop that will bounce around your skull for a while without clobbering you over the head. Psychomagic is just home from a national tour, and they'll celebrate the release of Bad Ideas tonight. Go help 'em! BEN SALMON

YUNG LEAN, SAD BOYS, GRAVITY BOYS
(Hawthorne Theatre, 1507 SE César E. Chávez) In March 2013, a 16-year-old Swedish kid sat on a sleek, modern staircase in a bucket hat and rapped about buying morphine in the club, getting his balls licked by girls who look like Zooey Deschanel, and being sad. He recorded this, laid WordArt and Photo Booth effects over the footage, and uploaded it to YouTube. A month later he was being interviewed by national music publications. That's how this weird thing called the internet works. But Yung Lean proved more than just a viral fluke, consistently releasing bizarre and beguiling pieces of work. He and his team of sad boys—Yung Gud and Yung Sherman—have paved this lane to create an off-brand product, something artificial and yet freshly captivating. Since those early videos, Lean has toured Europe and America, been written up in the New York Times, and released his debut album, Unknown Memory. MATTHEW B. SCHONFELD
