SUSS + Rachika Nayar

The ambling soundscapes from this local quintet traverse the sonic plains (and perhaps, mesas and oases) of the Southwest with an ambient bent. Pedal steel guitars, harmonica and mandolin all whirl together into a wistful, dreamlike haze that feels simultaneously universal and geographically specific. Here the band celebrates the release of High Line, the followup to last year's acclaimed debut. Opening the night is local ambient-electronic musician Rachika Nayar. The Brooklyn composer pairs her music in-concert with an immersive installation of neon lights and video projections to no less than a spellbinding and profoundly moving effect.
