Creepoid See Red at Tritone Feb. 25

The cover of Creepoid’s latest album Horse Heaven sure is alluring, isn’t it? It’s a good representation of their sound, the way it’s grown so clean and simple, yet easy to get lost in and ruminate. For those of us who like a little gruffness in our folk and a feminine touch in our grungy numbers, Creepoid might be the best bet. They’re somewhere between the airy ballads of Hope Sandoval and the smoldering guitar trails of Dinosaur Jr. They have a spooky side to them as well, like in “Grave Blanket” or the powerful “Spirit Birds”. Lux Perpetua dishes out ditties of a lighter-hearted nature, however, from jittery power-pop to graceful folk epics that capture the feeling of lying in a hammock on a spring morning. (Stay tuned also for Creepoid’s Church show where they’ll be opening for Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Twin Shadow!) Tritone, 1508 South St., 9pm, $5, 21+ – Joe Poteracki
