Beach House and Wild Nothing
The Baltimore duo of guitarist-keyboardist Alex Scally and singer-organist Victoria Legrand debuted in 2006 with a self-titled disc of blurry, ethereal dream-pop that instantly made waves in indie music circles thanks to Legrand’s hushed, almost somber vocals and Scally’s careful instrumentation. Their rep was bolstered even further with 2008’s Devotion, which saw Beach House raising its emotive languor to cinematic heights. The upward swing continued with 2010’s Teen Dream and this year’s Bloom, a beautiful and shining showcase of understated musical majesty. With Wild Nothing at 8 p.m. at the Crofoot Ballroom, 1 S. Saginaw St., Pontiac; 248-858-9333; $18 advance.
