After releasing a new EP Have You Got It Yet? earlier this year, recorded with producer Jeff Zeigler and with a new addition of Peter Stanko (Sweet Island) on guitar, The Orange Drop are set to make their first local appearance of 2015 at Bourbon & Branch. The quartet crafts psychedelic tunes which can manifest a heavier mind-absorbing air as the drone–guitar and persistent percussion meld, forming organic walls of sound around you and Marc-Andre Basile’s clean, conjuring vocals, stretched out in a hypnotic fashion. Psych outfit Seismic Thrust has a calm, jangly groove-expanding vibe, gradually pushing further out as they integrate into their surroundings. Brooklyn-based trio Sky Picnic complete a bill set to place your head in the heavens. Bourbon & Branch, 705 N. 2nd St., 7pm, $8, 21+ – Michael Colavita
