Elusive Parallelograms, Worrier, Red Stuff, and Moss Folk at Cactus Club
Milwaukee band Elusive Parallelograms built on the promise of 2007’s Doublethink EP with 2008’s great full-length debut, And Everything Changes—an album that drew on ’60s psychedelia, late-’80s shoegaze, and ’90s indie rock with a firm grasp of pop-rock songcraft. 2011’s Modern Splendor takes that same grungy, psychedelic schizophrenia and fleshes it out into more of a conventional rock package. The Parallelograms may take fewer risks on the album, but they’re still at their best living and dying by the dirty, catchy riff, like the growler found in “Odds And Evens,” and the dizzying, criss-cross strummage that caps the title track. The band is currently celebrating the release of a new EP, Traces.
