These two alternative indie artists paint trippy dreamscapes with their hypnotizing post punk and psych rock sounds. Casual Crypt is the alter-ego of synth wizard James Vernon, whose upcoming debut album frames bedroom pop and indie rock around a spooky backdrop of whispering vocals and electronic echoes. Vernon’s album is set to drop in October. Sharing the bill is the local noise-rock collective Eastern Westerner. Longtime staples of the scene, the band draws inspiration from San Jose indie legends like Duster and other contemporary no-wave phenoms, such as Sonic Youth.
