Slow Joy + Bike Routes

Slow Joy and Bike Routes share The Masquerade's bill on August 12 — a pairing for listeners who follow indie pop and dream pop at its most atmospheric and texturally interesting. Both acts operate in territory where the goal is mood as much as melody, and the combination on a single bill rewards audiences who showed up willing to pay attention to both. The Masquerade's smaller rooms provide the right scale for music built to be heard closely. August 12.
