This Wednesday night the Metro Gallery hosts a fine batch of local friends and travelling sounds with Moss of Aura, Dead Drums, Say "No!" To Architecture, and Hear Hums.



Moss of Aura is the ever-growing work of Gerrit Welmers from Future Islands. Welmers is currently putting the final touches on his first proper release, more details on which are TBA for now. Wednesday's show will provide a nice look at some of the new jams.



Dead Drums is another fine solo project I've gushed about plenty before - ambient pop excursions by Caleb Moore of Lands and Peoples. His latest release came via Bathetic.



Hear Hums are an experimental pop outfit from Florida, who I was first clued into by Jheri down at Get Off The Coast. Crash Symbols released their album called Psych Cycles last Fall. Say "No!" To Architecture are coming to Baltimore from New York, and promise to bring with them a noisy blend of vibrations and percussive guitar-work.

The show on Wednesday starts at 8 PM, and you can RSVP right here.

Tonight: Lexx, Human Resources, Ravenous

Tonight the Ottobar's got you covered with Ravenous, Disturbed Individuals, Lexx, Human Resources, and Say No! To Architecture. I've shared my affection for Lexx before, particularly for his release this year on Wigflip. Here's a track off Mangoblunt.



Human Resources is a new find, Jeremy Krinsley's project based out of New York. Elements of drone are sprinkled over bursts of pop, both somehow meeting in the middle and forming some sort of industrial trance. Harsh noise is washed over with salt water, and tribal chants are filtered through cassette deck heads. His latest release, Fast Times, comes highly recommended.



"Debbie Fu" is the first track on Fast Times, and a whirlwind of haunted synths. Human Resources is more than worth showing up early for, as him and Say No! To Architecture will be opening up the affair. Lexx and Ravenous give you a damn good reason to stay.
