    Free Week: the Infinites (12mid), Chronophage (11:00pm), 2069, Samson (9:00) [inside]

    Passing messages with homespun local guitar pop group Chronophage over an encrypted email service feels appropriate. Scraps of their band activity entered my consciousness through a show address written on receipt paper by bassist Sarah Beames behind the register, and my partner returned from the coffee shop with a flier via guitarist Parker Allen. Drummer Cody Phifer (Nosferatu) now lives in New York.: “We plan to collaborate over the mail with him,” writes Parker.: The trio began performing in 2017 while living together, and keyboardist Casey Allen joined after moving in.: “A large part of the band is cohabitation, eating together, sometimes reading the same books, or becoming excited about new types of music together,” adds Parker.: Current rotation includes the avant-garde work of Henry Cow and Meredith Monk. Experimentalism sprinkles like breadcrumbs throughout the group’s output, especially on their Give Chance a Peace cassette and a cover of Velvet Underground’s “I’ll Be Your Mirror.” It all compounds in jaunty, clamorous post-punk dispatches from another era, alternately led by Beames’ balmy tone or Parker’s sharp theatrics.: Latest LP Prolog for Tomorrow, half recorded on 4-track tape, steps up fidelity on the hypnotic “Double Suicide,” engineered by PR Newman’s Spencer Garland. Continuing disparate influences, the bandmates attribute a “la la la” melody to Renaissance composer John Dowland alongside Yukio Mishima’s novel The Sound of Waves.: “We read it around the same time and fell into a trance over the love story,” explains Beames.: For upcoming shows, Adam Jones fills in on drums. Chronophage also requests amateur actors, singers, and musicians of all suits to collaborate with.: “I’m excited and wishful to expand our live performances in a more empathetic, expressive, and beautiful way,” enthuses Beames.
