Past touring dates with Animal Collective and Big Thief approximate the tweaked experimental pop and slushy indie rock sides of L’Rain, aka Brooklyn songwriter Taja Cheek. The title of last month’s Mexican Summer release, I Killed Your Dog, punches up the third album’s fearless, mood-based multiplicity – stretching from “Pet Rock,” an ode to her past in guitar bands, to the haunted music box vibe of “I Hate My Best Friends.”Thu., Nov. 16, 8pm -
