Alela Diane + Shannon Lay
Write a folk song slowly enough and it can carry the whole weight of grief without ever buckling - Alela Diane has been proving that since 2006, records that arrived in indie folk's small, unrenewable years and never once sounded dated. Shannon Lay is the right pairing on this bill: LA-based, on Sub Pop, the kind of voice you mistake for a different decade until the production quietly gives it away. Soda Bar in San Diego on a Wednesday is the room - three hundred capacity on El Cajon Boulevard, the crowd that owns the records and came out on a school night anyway. Two long sets sharing one stage, two singers who do not need amplification but get it because the room expects it. Doors at seven-thirty, music at eight. Twenty-two dollars at the door.
