Mount Eerie
The adamantly DIY stylings of Phil Elverum became a cornerstone of the Northwest’s independent music scene in the early 2000s, first behind the Microphones and now primarily as Mount Eerie. The auteur continues to push multimedia artistic edges through his various projects under the house label P.W. Elverum & Sun – including the soundscapes of last year’s hauntingly atmospheric LP Night Palace, which unravels a tension of beauty and terror in his haltingly soft and intimate vocals. The equally enigmatic Dagmar Zuniga opens behind the mesmerizing new lo-fi album in filth your mystery is kingdom / far smile peasant in yellow music. – Doug FreemanThu., June 5, 8pm -

Polite Society & The Assassin
The Austin Asian American Film Festival presents this double feature of only very tangentially related films about, well, ladies kicking ass. They’re both recommended, if a study in tonal contrasts: We Are Lady Parts creator Nida Manzoor helmed 2023 action-comedy Polite Society, about a British-Pakistani teen and wannabe movie stunt performer who must save her sister from an extremely bad marriage match, while Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s 2015 wuxia epic – wherein the titular assassin’s resolve is tested when she’s sent to kill her childhood sweetheart – is deadly serious, and a stunning piece of artistry. – Kimberley JonesTue., June 3 -
