Margot and the Nuclear So and So's + Ezra Furman + Writer

Margot & Co.—whose lead singer is actually a man named Richard Edwards—combine orch-poppy arrangements with achy vocals suggestive of romantic breakups. The subtly eccentric Indianapolis outfit comes to town with a new album, Rot Gut, Domestic, and an excellent and often overlooked opener: verbose lyricist Ezra Furman, who adroitly conveys through an old man's medium what it feels like to be young.
