Alex G’s music finds that special way of washing over you, embodying that up close bedroom approach. The lo-fi melodics and his brand of simple yet twisting narrative lyricism create a welcoming personal sound that’s hypnotically soothing while occupying a somewhat warped headspace. It can be densely layered while creating an airy cathartic experience, floating as it spaces out and still connects to home. Over the next two nights at Boot & Saddle, the former The Deli Philly’s Year End Readers’/Fans’ Poll Winner opens a pair of sold-out shows for Unknown Mortal Orchestra, whose new record is a melting pot of synth-friendly R&Bthat takes a hold of you while still exploring a psychedelic side. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8pm, $15 (Sold Out), 21+ – Michael Colavita
