John Maus, Schaus
John Maus’ latest record, Addendum, wavers somewhere between catchy, obscure, and experimental—it's a little bit reminiscent Gary Numan or the composer Vangelis. After releasing 2011’s We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves, Maus spent six years living in a small Minnesota town, finishing his PhD in political philosophy, and building the synthesizers he would use to record Addendum. On the new album, he holds pop at a frustrating, compelling arm’s length. Maus doesn’t just play music—he wrestles with it and attempts to wrench meaning from it. (8:30 pm, Wonder Ballroom, $20-22) ISABEL LYNDON

JMSN, August 08
The Detroit-hailing multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer/songwriter brings his R&B slow jams back through the Doug Fir Lounge for the Portland stop on a tour supporting his latest full-length Whatever Makes U Happy. (9 pm, Doug Fir, $15-17)

Suuns, Graham Van Pelt
For more than a decade, Suuns has been fusing post-punk, krautrock, electronic sounds, and psychedelic vibes into something weirdly catchy and undeniably appealing. But where their first three albums felt like the work of serious artists with furrowed brows, this year’s Felt is looser, groovier, more spacious, and easier to embrace. It sounds like art-rock underground heroes Clinic and art-rock arena-fillers Radiohead found a pot full of golden, pulsing pop songs at the end of the Black Moth Super Rainbow. And then they went to space, recorded them, and buried them under the floorboards of their rocket-ship. (9 pm, Mississippi Studios, $15) BEN SALMON

Dune
Once upon a time in the '80s, George Lucas asked David Lynch if he wanted to make a Star Wars movie. Lynch got a migraine at the mere concept of ewoks and said no. Then he went off and got Agent Cooper to fight Sting in a leather diaper while Captain Picard played a weird guitar and carried a pug into battle. He called this glorious mess Dune. It is an ungainly, lumbering thing carrying only faint whiffs of its source material and a strong stink of Toto on the soundtrack. As an adaptation? Trash. As a fever-dream parade of ambitious failings? Fascinating. (7 pm, Clinton Street Theater, $5) BOBBY ROBERTS
