Oscar-nominated composer, daring pop producer, and sonic anarchist Mica Levi makes their long-awaited NYC return, headlining the experimental show of the summer. They’re joined by Still House Plants, the indefinable London post-rock trio, whose urgent and undeniable new album “If I don’t make it, I love you” sits at the top of this year’s critical ranks. The show is completed by “emo ambient” star claire rousay, supporting her latest LP “sentiment”—a career-best balance of gorgeous experimental folk textures and heartbreaking pop songwriting.
