Experimentation steps to the forefront this evening at North Star Bar. The duo of Anders Lindfors and Laura Fisher combines as Willow Talk, an electronic trip-hop scenario. Expanding for live performances, the group travels in a futuristic vehicle, fueled by a diet of morphing electronic beats and steadied by Fisher’s clear, enchanting vocals with drops of pace-changing spoken lyrics for good measure. The overall composition is lifted through the tight, floating vocal effects while remaining anchored to the organic groove. Quintet Allora Mis paints clear sonic settings with controlled brush strokes, offering panoramic views. Adding to the bill are the trio of Blood Sound, who recently released its debut album Nightclub that is full of synth-y, danceable dark wave you’ll surely dig as it gradually fortifies around you, and instrumental two-piece In Place. North Star Bar, 2639 Poplar St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
