In this week's Up & Coming listings:

The Quiet Ones, Kinski, Marty Marquis

(Crocodile) The Quiet Ones—three brothers, two of whom are twins, and one friend—are my sleeper hit of the summer. They released Better Walk Than Ride Like That last year, and I remember thinking (and writing) at the time that it was a fine record with obvious nods to Wilco. But "fine" doesn't usually stick, and away they went into the "soon to be forgotten" pile. But after being reintroduced to them weeks ago, on a hot, sunny afternoon, everything clicked into place—their bright Beatles-esque harmonies, their fun guitar riffs, their playful drumming. Their songs are delightful and imperfect packages of pop, and I want to spend the rest of the summer doing nothing but going on picnics while listening to them. MEGAN SELING

Dave Segal on Dar Sirena tonight:

Dar Sirena, 100Pieces

(Mars Bar) Seattle trio Dar Sirena—Katrina Ellison, Erin Lau, and Victoria Jacobs—use Indian harmonium, Middle Eastern drums, castanets, and electronic percussion to forge a kind of mournful, meditative plainsong. If you're into this sort of ritualistic world music, their compositions induce a swirly-headed swooning and a sense of well-being that comes from consuming a plate of organic couscous. They also blend Butoh, flamenco, and belly dance. 100Pieces, by contrast, upset your equilibrium with unnerving ambience, pitiless beats, and tonal aggression. The plaything of one Murder and Joy Von Spain (an über-talented avant-garde/electronic composer who likes to blow off steam in Seattle's noise underground), 100Pieces are more about sonic shocks than chakras, making this lineup an odd one.
