Orca Team may just be the tightest, most beautiful-sounding (and looking) band I've seen play in a basement, and Valentine's seems a fine substitute for that. The once-Portland-based band is stopping through on their way back to Seattle from a national tour for their newest LP release Restraint. The album is immaculately written and produced, laced with deeply personal content and perspectives and yet still maintains the Orca Team beach-party vibes. I like to imagine it's the music that surf pop bands of the '60s would have made if they found themselves in the creative landscape of post-punk. ROCHELLE HUNTER
