If you’re like me, and have been coasting on Lord Huron’s 2012 album Lonsesome Dreams, it’s time for a check-in. The group’s two releases since—2015’s Strange Trails and 2018’s Vide Noir—still evoke the weary traveler, open plains vibe for which you might have come to love in them, but the sound is bigger and grander, perfect for an amphitheater. Vide Noir in particular has some jam band-esque tracks that should play well. Madeline Kenney is a great fit, too, as an opener: Since her initial 2016 release Signals, Kenney has hit a stride. Not that Signals wasn’t unremarkable (Chaz Bundick, aka Toro y Moi, helped produce and probably contributed to its somewhat allover-the-place sound), but with releases like 2017’s Night Night At The First Landing and 2018’s Perfect Shapes and this year’s singles “Nick of Time” and “Helpless,” Kenney has found her strengths. Her voice is the kind that can anchor a song or launch it into orbit. Often Kenney keeps her vocals in the familiar indie wrapper, but Perfect Shapes shows a willingness to contrast her music against herself, sometimes making her sound like a stranger in her own album. “No Weekend” features a pinging synth and wandering saxophone you might not think to meld with Kenney’s voice, but it works, and the album is full of such surprises. Perfect Shapes is like an artist catching themselves after a long time spent falling: There’s a relief of safety, and almost immediately a pitch toward something new, something fun.

began, it wasn’t until their 1994 major-label debut Deliverance that they truly hit a sweet spot. Fusing satisfyingly chunky stoner metal riffage with Skynyrd-esque southern rock attitude, CoC developed a catchy yet hard-hitting formula that proved successful with classic rock enthusiasts and metalheads still clutching their early Black Sabbath records, and managed to slot in perfectly with the burgeoning grunge craze as well. Still, subsequent albums didn’t quite live up to the commercial and critical success of Deliverance, and the band eventually splintered apart before going on hiatus in the mid-aughts. CoC reunited in 2010 (sans longtime frontman Pepper Keenan) and released two more albums to little fanfare, but Keenan’s return to the fold in 2014 brought some substantial buzz, and their most recent album—2018’s No Cross, No Crown—has been hailed by many as the band’s finest effort since their ’90s heyday. CoC will be playing at The Complex this week along with NOLA sludge stalwarts Crowbar; Texas hard rockers Quaker City Night Hawks and Ohio desert rock outfit Lo-Pan open.
