SISTER PALACE, GOLDEN HOUR
(The Know, 2026 NE Alberta) If classic indie rock appeals to you, then you need Sister Palace's new tape Count Yr Blessings in your life. It's a meandering trip through some of the finest guitar-rock sounds of the '80s and '90s, from Sonic Youth's dissonant howl and Slint's dusky post-punk to Modest Mouse's woozy tremolo and both sides of Pavement: the irresistible pop ("Corporeality") and the irrepressible noise ("In My House"). Along the way, amiable vocals, both male and female, consistently slice through Sister Palace's acerbic sonic tension. The band was supposed to celebrate the release of Count Yr Blessings at a January 17 show but had to cancel because of a family emergency, so tonight's the makeup. In a sad coincidence, Lubec had to drop off tonight's bill due to a (presumably different) family emergency, but skeletal punks Golden Hour—whose new album Don't Be Cute comes out February 5—will be present and accounted for.

PLAZM FARMHOUSE ALE RELEASE PARTY: ASSS, REGULAR MUSIC, MARY LATTIMORE, JASON URICK
Holocene, 1001 SE Morrison) It's fitting that the strange move by arts/culture magazine Plazm into the world of craft brewing (with the help of Astoria's Fort George Brewery) would be matched with a trio of artists who don't necessarily fit together on paper. The highlight of this bill is Mary Lattimore, a harp player from Philadelphia with a résumé that includes session work with Jarvis Cocker and Kurt Vile, as well as an album and tours with Thurston Moore. Her most recent effort, Slant of Light, is a stunning LP of improvisational duets of austere beauty and unexpected gravitas recorded with multi-instrumentalist Jeff Zeigler. Great as that will likely be, stick around for what will surely be inspired sets from minimalist electro poppers ASSS and analog synth explorers Regular Music. ROBERT HAM
