Coltron, Pontiak, Golden Void, Freak in the Fire
Wednesday, Sept. 4 @ Caledonia Lounge
Pontiak
Virginia trio Pontiak has released a litany of incredibly solid rock and roll records over the past eight years or so, but last year's Echo Ono went above and beyond, toning down the aggro-indie assault in favor of something more nuanced and psychedelic. The three brothers Carney that comprise the band spent more time exploring studio sounds and textures than ever before, and the result is the group's best, most balanced outing to date. Fellow Thrill Jockey-ites Golden Void, a San Francisco band that features former members of San Diego outfit Earthless, offer a mathier, more intricate take on 1960s psych-rock.
