Tonight, Shannen Moser performs at The Pharmacy with a full band. Moser has honed a recipe of sonic ingredients that couples the tender elegance of stripped-down instrumentation with gentle, transfixing vocal melody. The overall approach may sound simple; however, the reality is intricate. It allows the pieces to fit together in a subtle illuminating manner that burns brightest up close, but also provides intrigue from a distance. With hypnotic vocals canvassed over enticing experimental beats, the duo of Willow Talk magnetically get things started. A pair of Brooklyn-based outfits is sandwiched in between, including Half Waif, whose ever-alluring vocals are complimented by a diverse musical spectrum, establishing a far reach. The free-flowing, avant-garde sounds of Ben Seretan Group round this bill into form. The Pharmacy, 1300/02 S. 18th St., 8pm, $8, All Ages – Michael Colavita
