The three-headed post-mod monster called Restiform Bodies is whole once again, dropping their official Anticon debut like a sack of analog televisions onto the fractured landscape of modern urban forms. TV Loves You Back is a dark and dense, art-twisted, New Wave-inflected hip-pop marvel. Strains of ghettotech, crunk, and hyphy twirp and twirl with Eno-like atmospherics and buoyant bass swells, while rapper/songbird Passage warps his vocals over blistering synth. Catch them at The Bottom of the Hill on October 7th.

LAKE crafts up-beat, dance-able, psychedelic, uniquely sincere and unaffected pop songs. Their third album Oh, the Places We’ll Go was recorded at home, largely on cassette 8-track, and has a slightly lo-fi, homemade feel that also shows evidence of their influence from prolific artists Karl Blau and R. Stevie Moore. Also catch their show at The Lab later that night!

With more than 40 albums, two GRAMMYs, and countless collaborations to his credit, Taj Mahal is one of the recording industry's most celebrated contemporary blues artists. In his never-ending exploration of the complex origins and underpinnings of American music, he has forged a four-decade career by gathering and distilling countless musical traditions from a range of geographical and cultural sources: the Mississippi Delta, the Appalachian backwoods, the African continent, the Hawaiian islands, Europe, the Caribbean and so much more. Maestro, his first domestic release in five years, hits the stores in late September!
