Songs about specific American places written by somebody who has clearly never been to most of them create a peculiar kind of homesickness — for a country assembled out of sports statistics, half-remembered history and local news. This Queens duo has been doing that for a decade at a scale that stayed deliberately small, guitars recorded roughly, vocals delivered like someone talking fast because they might get interrupted. The details are the whole thing; almost every song contains a proper noun that sends people to look something up afterward. Live it is louder and looser than the recordings and the between-song talk is part of it. Highland Park's upstairs lodge, wood floors, a few hundred capacity. Music at 8:00 PM at 104 N Avenue 56, a Saturday. Bands this size survive on people making other people listen, and the room is a gathering of everyone who was successfully made to.
