Spellling / Dreamboat / Joann Fabrix @ La Casa (240 Wash)
Friday 9pm
Spellling
After listening to the second track on her newest release, “Haunted Water,” you will understand the eerie appeal of Spellling. She commands a range of odd electronic tones to create an orchestra of haunting, ghostly sound that will envelope you in its cold embrace. There are poignant moments on her latest relase, Mazy Fly, as well. But something is always afoot in Spellling’s universe. In the track “Under the Sun,” Spellling crafts a dance-y tune that evokes images of a distant, cosmic future, but far from a utopian one. There is certainly an eerie aspect to all of Spellling’s music but it is rarely discomfiting; rather, it brings you into a world of her own creation and asks you to stick around for a bit. So why not?

Sen Morimoto // Moollz // Ian Etc. // Toxic Holiday @ Music House (202 Wash)
Friday 10pm
Sen Morimoto is a multi-instrumentalist producer, composer, and songwriter from Kyoto, Japan. He moved to Massachusetts at a young age and began a life-long study of jazz saxophone. Horn in hand, Morimoto cut his teeth as a songwriter in the DIY hip-hop community of Western Massachusetts. He eventually moved to Chicago where he refined his sound while maintaining a consistent presence in the music culture by producing and collaborating with artists including Saba and Joseph Chilliams (Pivot Gang), KAINA, Qari, and Nnamdi Ogbonnaya. Morimoto’s powerful grasp of jazz composition, pop songwriting, and hip-hop styling are fully articulated as the extraordinary sound of an unrivaled talent on Cannonball!, an LP that he wrote, recorded, and mixed by himself.
Moollz is an NYC-based artist and producer originally from California. Drawing from influences such as Sufjan Stevens, James Blake, David Bowie, and Bjork. Moollz’s work fuses experimental, sound-collage-inspired production, and emotional, confessional lyricism in an effort to explore a relationship with body, queerness and hyperawareness.
Ian Etc.
Toxic Holiday

MIKE (+ Roach Girl) @ Psi U
Saturday 10pm
MIKE
MIKE is a Bronx-based MC that wears his vulnerability on his sleeve. Throughout his records, MIKE candidly raps about his depression, family life, and experiences growing up in London and New York. His wizened, confessional lyrics are reminiscent of the avant-garde self-care ethics of Solange, and his pithy poetic style rivals that of hip-hop greats, from Earl Sweatshirt to Scarface. His debut album, May God Bless Your Hustle, received acclaim from critics, earning a spot on Pitchfork's Best New Music category.
Roach Girl
Roach Girl derives inspiration from insects. WAZZAM.
