- Architecture in Helsinki went from being the Australian Belle & Sebastian to taking a flying leap of a psych-infused cliff and never looking back. Onstage, there’s far more going on than you’d think possible for a six-person ensemble. with Glass Candy, Panther. $16, 8p [showbox SODO]
- I’ve been meaning to see Caribou since the days before copyright scuffles made them change their name from Manitoba. During this time, they (or, rather “he” as the band is the work of maths PhD Daniel Snaith) have migrated from primarily instrumental compositions to the fuzzy, sixties-inspired gauzy pop bliss on this year’s Andorra. with Born Ruffians, Feral Children. $10+, 8p [neumos]
- Last year Joanna Newsom teamed up with Van Dyke Parks to bring orchestration to Ys, dramatically expanding her previous solo-harpist work with rich textures, and making one of my favorite records of 2006. Tonight, she’s performing with a full orchestra at Benaroya Hall. I can’t imagine that this won’t be magnificent. $25-35 [benaryoa]
