Femina-X, Lonely Horse, Fishermen (Friday, December 5)
With atmospheric electro pop and ethereal melodies, Femina-X promises an otherworldly experience. Recorded on the illustrious toys of the Sonic Ranch studio, Lonely Horse’s My Desert Son extends the band’s rich aesthetic in glorious high fidelity. “…And the Number 3” sounds extraordinary: Hild’s open hi-hat pounding is emotional and crisp, while Long’s guitar-bending solos wheeze like decaying, overworked machinery. Fishermen’s strongest asset is singer Edwin Stephens’ voice, a floating instrument with supreme command over the upper register and an on-point falsetto. $10, 8pm, Sam’s Burger Joint, 330 E Grayson, (210) 223-2830 —Shannon Sweet, Matt Stieb
