July 4th at 119 Gallery

Lowell's hippest performance space, 119 Gallery, continues to bring some of the best experimental music to the Mill City. July 4th they've put together another great line up including Australia's the Boy Who Spoke Clouds. The band, largely a project of guitarist Adam Casey, just released their self titled debut on Sun Sea Sky Productions and are touring the US and Canada in support. Recorded using a single microphone from a Sony web cam, the Boy Who Spoke Clouds floats dreamily along melding a minimalist approach with psychedelic folk and rock influences. Think Pink Floyd's Animals without the production laced with hints of Tim Buckley and Nick Drake. The album is a sonic wonderland, and considering the limited recording techniques, a marvel to behold. A cookout stars at 2:00 with music to follow. $10.00 donation. Should be a 4th of July to remember.
