08.28 FREE ELECTRIC STATE, EMBARRASSING FRUITS, VEELEE @ LOCAL 506


If multiple music blogs are to be believed, this summer has been
about wispy mirages of lo-fi pop branded seasonally appropriate for
their dreamy haze and nostalgic tones. But this all-local triple-
header
earns the summer soundtrack tag, at least as much as anything else.
Between Veelee drawing bittersweet melodies from heavy reverb, gentle
synth and spacious arrangements, Embarrassing Fruits building on '90s
bands (Pavement, Sebadoh) to think about teenage firsts (beers, bikes,
girls), and Free Electric State jumping through amplifier buzz to hit
the middle ground between My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth, there's
plenty of memory, melody and humidity here. $7/ 10 p.m. =97Bryan Reed
