Buried Beds are back with their sophomore album Tremble the Sails. We’ve been having flashbacks lately to a time when you couldn’t pickup the weeklies without seeing something about Buried Beds, Espers, The A-Sides and The Capitol Years. Well, we don’t think you’ll find the word “Appalachian” to describe their latest four year endeavor that was mixed by The Spinto Band’s Nick Krill. Instead, you will discover that they’ve created pop songs with taut, almost bouncy energy. The arrangements are crisp and calculated, but still achingly beautiful when appropriate. However, they do promise to up the ante even more by "summoning the chaos and energy of Rock and Roll". If you take a trip to the Tremble the Sails release party tonight, you’ll also be treated to piano pop god BC Camplight and Dr. Dog‘s Scott McMicken! We think that there will be good vibes all around. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave, 9pm, $10, 21+
