Calculated but not cold, Edelweiss captures the precision of math-rock while developing an open-air feel. This juxtaposition allows expansive scenic musical routes to unfold as one roams deeper into the labyrinth. Tonight at Mantua Yacht Club, they will be joined by Howlish, whose folky, personal songwriting takes a freeing ambient dash with vocals that incorporate a yearning. The danceably dark, percussive-synth electronic tone of Blood Sound gets the blood flowing while simultaneously keeping you on high alert, soothing but with an eerie sense of danger, and they just released a new set of material Too Much Sun and Not Enough Gloom at the Beach. A pair of Union, New Jersey bands including the emotive folk of Fire is Motion and the melodic experimental journey of El Americano completes this bill. Mantua Yacht Club, (Please contact one of the acts or venue for more info.), 8:30pm, $5, All Ages – Michael Colavita
