Local producer/musician extraordinaire Jeff Zeigler is part of a lineup tonight at Kung Fu Necktie thriving on sonic manipulation. Zeigler orchestrates layers upon layers, developing a complex atmosphere/soundscape that remains airy and calming. In that adventurous space, your mind is free to wander in a discovery-oriented meditative state, shedding the daily wear for temporary solitude. The dreary, creaky-floor psych-pop of Scott Churchman creeps into one’s head with haunting intensity that’ll make you look over your shoulder knowing nobody’s there. Following suit, Chicago’s Dash Lewis, a.k.a. Gardener, plants the seed of psychedelics with moody doses of ambient synth. The heavy impending ominous tones of Asheville, North Carolina tandem, Lunar Creature, takes violin in a psych-folk direction, and rounds out this mind-warping bill. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $6, 21+ – Michael Colavita
