Coming off her new album, Identified Demon, which she wrote, recorded, mixed, and mastered herself, this week R.Ariel is stopping by Valentine's. Her new project is hypnotic, with beautiful vocal repetitions and a tinge of R&B. She's currently on a 30-plus city tour of the United States and Canada, and she wrote a stream-of-consciousness book about her last North American tour, which she says gives readers a "very raw idea of what [her] history is and what the future looks like." Also performing are R.Ariel collaborator and fellow Phoenix artist Bri White, local hip-hop artist Fountaine, and melancholy Portland trio Little Star. SKYLER WALRATH
