The latest monthly installment of Communion Residency Philadelphia takes place this evening at Milkboy Philly. Pine Barons and Foxtrot & The Get Down represent the hometown music on this night. As they work on their debut LP, Pine Barons’s latest single, “Clown,” captures your ear with its casual jangly riff-percussion combination that shifts into a higher gear, while using smooth backing harmonies to display a polished pop-rock sensibility. Former Deli Philly Featured Artist(s) Poll Winners, Foxtrot & The Get Down, hold true to a blues rock tradition as thick, memorable guitar work is balanced by a steady backend and earnest vocals pulled from the inside-out. The gothic soul of Detroit’s Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas shells out an eclectic energy and infused musicality that are unified by sultry vocals that pack a mean punch. The intricate yet easily consumed indie rock of Dan Mangan + Blacksmith serves as the headliner.
