One thing this Bostonist has learned is that ambient intros/outros/interludes are never as cool in execution as they are in concept. At their Middle East show last Thursday, Sunset Rubdown abandoned power-pop super-structures in favor of aimless sonic meanderings that left the set stagnating and without context. The saving grace was often keyboardist Camilla Ingr who, perhaps sensing the restlessness, offered comedic relief during one such breakdown: “This is the relaxation portion of our set. You can leave comments at the merch table.”

Some weeks, we get ambitious with our music picks. This week, we're taking a laid-back approach that matches the music of (some of) our selections.

Released last Tuesday, October 9, Sunset Rubdown's Random Spirit Lover is a record that both daunts and delights. Here, we muse on the contents after having spent a week attempting to digest this incredible combination of wild and majestic sounds.

If you're not into traveling all the way to the Tweeter Center for Journey and Def Leopard, check out this week's picks. Even if you are into heading down to the big name act's show you'll need something to do the rest of the week. There's no joking about it this week. Fall is here. By the time the weekend hits it's time to break out the cider and make some pumpkin pie. We're saving that for Sunday, however, the rest of the week is for music.
