Leeches of Lore, A Volcano, EMS
Recommended
Things are just a little weirder down in New Mexico—usually in a good way. Albuquerque heavy-rock four-piece Leeches of Lore exemplify this weirdness, bending and forcing genres to fit their own twisted vision. The result is twangy, riff-heavy mutant space-rock that defies gravity and categorization, usually with lyrics that defy explanation. Leeches of Lore has dropped a steady trail of albums, EPs, and live recordings (including some choice covers), all of which led to last year's excellent full-length, Motel of Infinity. That record alone illustrates just how all over the map these Albuquerqueans are. Tonight's show will be the icing on the cake. MARK LORE
