The moody and lush Conservative Man is making an appearance at the M Room tonight. Conservative Man began as the solo project of multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Ian McCarthy before being flushed out into a full band in 2008. Their sound is eloquent and energetic with stargazing synths and Brit-pop melodrama that brings to mind a bit less dreamy M83. Their latest EP, 2009’s Imaginary Forces, is steeped in longing melodies and ethereal lightness that allow for escape and respite. M Room, 15 W. Girard Ave., 9pm, $8, 21+ – Adam G.
