I Sleep Alone (Big School Records), the freshly released LP from Psalmships, the Joshua Britton ghost-folk project, will be celebrated this evening at Bourbon & Branch. The record finds a balance, using lyrical depth that hits home with its unshielded poignant potency. A natural open-air atmosphere gives these earnest tales room to breathe, allowing Britton’s pensive words to resonate, burying themselves deeper in one’s mind, while sharpening their honest eeriness. It’s as though through expressing an emptiness that a catharsis occurs. The penetratingly clear rock of Downingtown’s Chelsea Sue Allen joins in on the experience with Indiana-based folk rocker Nathan Edwin rounding out the bill. Bourbon & Branch 705 N. 2nd St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
