Also Playing: Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson and My Education

10 pm,
Warpaint, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, and My Education at Emo's Jr.With a gentle sprawl of styles to match his quadruple name, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson plods patiently through folk and pop sounds to create the atmosphere of a cool, overcast day. While he’s not on the level of the friends from TV On The Radio and Grizzly Bear who helped out with his 2008 self-titled album, Robinson shares their taste for combining cryptic explorations with emotional directness. That keeps him focused as he moves from the glowing piano and harmony vocals of “Above The Sun” to more rocking numbers like “Woodfriend"—sounds perfectly suited to Robinson's new label, Saddle Creek, which just released his follow-up, Summer Of Fear. Beguiling female harmonies are the main attraction of headliner Warpaint, four slack Angelenos who sound like they're perpetually following Jim Morrison and his naked Indian across an echoey desert.
