The Puritans are coming (and so is a heatwave)! FRICTION returns to Music Hall of Williamsburg this Sunday with the trance-inducing post-punk Brits These New Puritans. Supporting will be Brooklyn faves School of Seven Bells and shoegaze darlings Soundpool. Effi Briest had to cancel this show because they are still busy in the studio on a new record. However, the lineup hasn’t lost a beat with the addition of New York City’s Soundpool, who we’ve been crushing on since hearing their second album, Dichotomies & Dreamland, earlier this spring.
Beat the heat (and humidity) on Sunday and come out to Music Hall of Williamsburg for this solid FRICTION bill. They have air conditioning there, right? Anicet spins between sets. Tix
For fans of ethereal, densely layered noise pop, SOUNDPOOL demand attention. [Nick Fulton, Einstein Music Journal]
