Grief that arrives early reorganizes a person, and the songs on this project are about living in the reorganized version rather than about the event itself. Lexi Vega writes them in Los Angeles, quiet and precise, drums programmed then replayed, the kind of record people put on alone and then cannot recommend to anyone without over-explaining. She has spent years as a drummer for other people, which is audible in how the songs are built from the rhythm outward rather than the melody down. Live, with a full band, they get considerably bigger than the recordings prepare you for. The San Diego room on Kettner Boulevard is a small, dark, famously well-run club that has been the center of this city's music for decades. Music at 8:00 PM, twenty-one and over, on a Wednesday. Nights like this are how San Diego keeps finding out which of its neighbors have been listening to the same thing.
