Performing at Eris Temple Arts this evening, former Univox frontman Josh Jones finds a manner to deliver serious yet danceable songs on his solo album It’s a Terrible World. Capturing a heart-beating sense of percussion and keys that absorbs listeners in a persistent sense of movement and balance with those moving parts and the darker undertones that the lyrics present, there’s an interesting dynamic at play – the outward flow of the instrumentation and the inward reflection that the lyrics suggest. Joining in on this Spazz Presents showcase are hosts Radio Eris. The noir folk of Seattle’s Scott Yoder (formerly of The Pharmacy), whom released an EP Sisters Under the Mink this past spring, and the odd yet measured art-punk of Atlanta’s Warehouse solidify a lineup that pulls you in multiple directions. Eris Temple Arts, 602 S. 52nd St., 8pm, $5-$10, All Ages – Michael Colavita
