The Tralf’s “Summer Of Indie” continues with a killer lineup of up and coming electronic artists featuring Minneapolis electronica outfit Poliça with New York’s Lolawolf and blog favorite Lesionread. In town to promote last year’s excellent Shulamith, Poliça stands apart from the field thanks to their propulsive, R&B infused 80’s new wave sound, evocative lyrics, intense live shows, and chilled out yet soulful vocals from front woman Channy Leaneagh.
There’s a tremendous amount of buzz around Lolawolf and their debut EP due in no small part to minimalist old school synths and the distinct and delicately smokey voice of Zoe Kravitz (daughter of Lenny, spiritual son of Prince), while local wunderkind Lesionread (aka Shawn Lewis) will no doubt continue his rise to power and rapid evolution as electronic and multimedia artist with some new hardware and some mouthwatering new material.
Missing Lesionread is foolish, so being there by 8 PM is highly recommended (doors open at 7), and tickets for this excellent bill are still available at the ridiculously low price of $15.
