    Alex Maas, Mello Meddo, Up Around the Sun, Little Mazarn

    Alex Maas solo is a different trip – similarly hypnotic to the spiraling sonics of his flagship psych band, but comparatively stark and gentle. A Black Angels show hits you, but a Maas show sits with you. His 2020 debut Luca was described by the Chronicle as a variety pack of “ancient folk, bass-heavy antigravity bops, and vintage pop” showcasing his sweet and eerie voice. His appearance at the Angels-affiliated Red River enclave stacks a captivating lineup. The bucolic outsider folk of Little Mazarn, with Lindsey Verrill singing and Jeff Johnston on the bowed saw, captured the calm eccentricities of small town life with recent EP Honey Island General Store. Up Around the Sun conjoins the rhythmic clawhammer banjo of Jerry Haggins with the resonant six-string voicings of Tim Kerr for instrumentals hearkening to both Appalachia and Ireland. Meanwhile, heady alternative noise quartet Heavy Meddo intrigues as alter ego Mello Meddo.

      Semihelix, Ground Clouds

      I bear no musical talent, so as far as I’m concerned, every musician makes the job look easy. Semihelix, however, especially so. Geannie Friedman writes these breezy pop songs that sound simple enough, complete with a lyrical optimism that buoys her chiming guitars. Yet strong melodies keep such positivity from feeling vacuous. September single “Renovate” bounds with the contentment of a latter-day Sonic Youth, like “Incinerate” times 10. “Everything is changing, rearranging, so enjoy the present time,” Friedman advises, and you can’t help but listen. With the Be Cool EP, neo-soul project Ground Clouds adds psychedelia to the bill.
      Sat., Nov. 25, 9pm. $10 cover.
