PRIMATE POP Turn off the lights and watch the skuzzy surf-pop of Darling Pet Munkee glow in the dark January 14 at Radio. |
Like clockwork, Old Man Winter is here to fuck us up something proper. But between the frigid now and March's South-by-Spring Break — a two-and-a-half month stretch of shoveling shit for snow in the driveways of Somerville, the alleys of Cambridge, and the dirty streets of Allston — we don our rock parkas and embrace the chilly. Cinderella once warned us of a Long Cold Winter, but that doesn't mean new, uplifting Boston sounds can't get sprung before spring. Here are 10 record-release parties from both newcomers and veterans of our city, dropping new music from now until March's thaw.

- Brite Futures | Dark Past
A few years ago, the cutesy teens in Natalie Portman's Shaved Head slid out of Seattle on the hot pink shoulders of robo-bounce kinda-hit "Me + Ur Daughter" and the cheap intrigue of a ridiculous moniker.

With Attack on Memory , the third full-length from Cleveland-based Cloud Nothings, 20-year-old frontman Dylan Baldi approaches new, drastically darker material with the same empty-bottle angst that made his previous releases so appealing.

- Contemplating the self with Youth Lagoon
Knowing what kind of wall hangings a musician had as a child doesn't always offer clues about his adult personality, but in the case of the Boise-situated creator of hazy pop project Youth Lagoon, Powers's posters provide handy visuals when listening to his song called— wait for it — "Posters."
- The tight post-punk structure of Autochrome
Sitting around the kitchen table listening to music with Autochrome bassist/singer Jeff Bartell and guitarist Richard Murillo, I realize that before we even started talking, we certainly agreed on this: when the guitar kicks in on "Senses" from their forthcoming self-released album, Separation Realms, it sends chills down the spine.
