No one epitomized the burst of Punk's creativity and energy better than the band X and their singer and co-lyricist Exene Cervenka. Somewhere Gone, Exene’s first solo album since 1991, is a sometimes dreamy but always intimate, circuitous passage through folk and country; subdued, but no less edgy. Possessing the eye and heart of a poet, Exene subverts lyrical expectations to create an atmosphere of both strain and empathy, speaking to the isolated and forsaken romantic in all of us.Buy Somewhere Gone here!

Known for their literary smarts and bookish charm, Fanfarlo, the UK five-piece, create a heart-wrenchingly beautiful world on their debut album, Reservoir. Produced by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol), Reservoir employs an array of instruments to create each lushly arranged track, including saws, clarinets, cellos, mandolins, ukuleles, and melodicas. Named for French poet Charles Baudelaire’s fictional dancer, the group takes us on a journey filled with misfits, savants, and dreamers, where each sentiment is accentuated by the keening of a saw or the crying of a cello. Also catch them later that night at the Rickshaw Stop in SF.
