Little Tybee
Part orchestral, part moody jazz-pop, part modern-ambient, Little Tybee is an odd collection of sounds and influences that fall together in wondrous ways. The band, which takes its name from a tiny island off the coast of their native Georgia, recently released its sophomore album Humorous to Bees. They play the Grey Eagle on Thursday, March 24 with local bands Sky Lake and Do It To Julia. 8:30 p.m., $7. thegreyeagle.com.
Future Islands
Minimalist pop band (“post-wave,” if you will) Future Islands may be based in Baltimore, but they have an N.C. connection. Members met as students at East Carolina University and after a brief stint as Art Lord & the Self-Portraits, they regrouped in the current lineup. Most recently, they released In Evening Air on Thrill Jockey records. Future Islands plays Broadway’s on Friday, March 25 with Thank You. future-islands.com.
