On Friday, San Jose band Mind Over Matter headlines Art Boutiki, showcasing songs from their latest self-titled EP. Within this six-track record lies a symphony of down-tuned chaos and beauty intricately bound by grungy distortion and minimalist arrangements—a sonic rebellion against conformity. Opening the evening is rising talent August Clover. Her fearless, soul-shredding songwriting is akin to Sharon van Etten, and her vocals echo the magnetic allure of Metric’s Emily Haines. It will be a thrilling evening at the comic book store turned music venue, a sonic journey fusing the dissonant allure of noise rock with the ethereal textures of shoegaze.
Fri, 8pm, $15-$20
