From the jangly, thump-thump backbeat of Mystical Participation’s “I Will Wait” to the dancey subtlety of “Always On My Mind”, the lo-fi chants of Reading Rainbow are warm with undertones of surf and 60s nostalgia (think Drug Rug, but more fuzzed out). A two-piece sensation, these Fishtown natives won the heart of Pitchfork with their latest release Prism Eyes, while deepening fan’s appreciation for their straightforward romanticism and catchy hooks. With all the buzz surrounding Everton and Garcia, it’s hard not to hum along with “Underground” and “Cut in Two”. Reading Rainbow’s redefinition of the quasi-garage noise pop meets lo-fi aesthetic possesses its listener by way of earnest orchestration and sugary sweet (but not sickening) lyrics that linger long after sung. Get dreamy with Everton and Garcia at The Ox with Lower Dens, Adventure, and R.u.an.if.u.R. (BTW: I hear that it’s the “official other show” to be at tonight. ;o) The Ox, (you should know by now or ask a friend), 8pm, $5, All Ages – Dianca Potts
