TICKETS + INFORMATION

These Ambient Church concerts really are great: ambient electronic music in ornate churches, with lights and visuals keyed to the church’s architectural features. They really do take you somewhere. This is an appealing bill, too. Drew McDowall, ex-Psychic TV and Coil collaborator, has moved farther toward the Emperean as his career has progressed. Tonight he’s revisiting Coil (in particular, a longform work intended to recreate the experience induced by hallucinogens). Opener Lucy Liyou is more earth-based, basing her electronic explorations on field recordings.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Very good tacos at El Paso Taqueria.
