Speaking in unsettling Lynchian riddles, Wombo’s August LP, Danger in Fives, circles your eardrum like a magic coin wobbling toward the drain. The album is a further embrace of the trio’s animated melodic dissonance. Seen live, the precise, rhythmic mechanics behind the Kentucky band’s sparse, triangulated arrangements are trance-inducing and captivating. Distortion-loving Québécois indie duo Ribbon Skirt opens with their Polaris Music Prize-shortlisted debut, Bite Down. Plus support from fittingly fast-paced local post-punk group Motorsports. – Caroline Drew
