On its 2021 album Pastels, Salt Lake CIty indie-rock band Dad Bod established itself as reliable purveyors of poppy psych-rock. The family band—brothers Michael and Matthew and Marcus Marinos, plus compadres Russ Alphin and Michael Morgan—stays rooted there on a new album, Loop de Loop Miracle Ministries Lords of Glory, but gives itself a whole lot of room to sprawl out and sharpen the songwriting while also dipping into blues-rock (“Feels Like Forever”) and manic melancholia, too (“Alcohol”).
Brazilian rock band Oruã says it plays “A poor man’s jazz. Working-class’ krautrock,” but a new album released last month (Passe, stylized in all-caps), is so much more complicated than that.
A throwback of sorts to the glory days of ‘90s underground rock (members of Oruã did back Built To Spill on its 2022 LP), the 13-track outing goes loud and soft in unexpected places and deploys just-off-time rhythms to great effect, all alongside guitars in weird tunings and odd-but-irresistible melodies.
Palmetto psych-rock outfit Domino Pink rounds out this knockout of a show.
Tickets to see Dad Bod and Oruã play Hooch and Hive in Tampa on Thursday, Aug. 8 are still available and start at $10.
