Harvey Milk, Coalesce, and The Atlas Moth at LPR




The New York Times on Harvey Milk at LPR:

There’s a lot of meta-sublimity going on right now in indie rock. Sometimes it really is sublime. Sometimes it’s a dry joke passed off as catharsis.

I heard it a few months ago and liked it all right. I heard the band at Le Poisson Rouge on Monday, with the monstrous drummer, and I finally got it.

Brooklyn Vegan posted a review of the show as well, along with a lot of great pictures and videos. Go check them out.
