These United States, The Chris Koza Band, and The Gentle Guest at Memorial Union Terrace
Bubbly yet moody, D.C.’s These United States employs lackadaisical electronics and lead-knuckled strums on Crimes, the trio’s sophomore full-length from 2008. There’s a hint of early Beck to the band’s hazy drift, not to mention its mumbled, trembling vocals and scattershot arrangements—including diffidently tickled keyboards and asthmatic horns. It’s a lazy kind of genius for sure, but it’s clear that These United States has only started an artistic arc that just might take it to bigger places.
