SUMMARY:Little Earthquakes\, Pink Halo at Bur Oak
DESCRIPTION:After three years of writing\, recording\, experimenting\, and polishing its sound\, local emergent ensemble Little Earthquakes finally released its genre-bending debut album\, Promises\, on March 31\, on streaming platforms and vinyl. In celebration of this milestone\, the neo-psychedelic indie dream rock band is headlining a concert at The Bur Oak on Thursday\, April 6. Little Earthquakes has played only a handful of live shows\, but the band is steadily finding a niche in the Madison music community with its vibrant performances\, seamless blend of diverse styles\, inventive approach to music-making\, and expanding fan base. The combined talents of singer Annie Kubena\, drummer Mark Marsh\, guitarist Shanan Galligan\, bassist Brett Farrey\, and keyboardist Mark Siegenthaler make for a gently dynamic artistic force. \nSince releasing an initial single\, “Digital Cowboy\,” last May\, Little Earthquakes has shared two additional selections from Promises—”Eggshells” and “Silent Treatment.” The nine-track record brilliantly showcases the band’s versatility\, eclectic taste\, and exceptional musicianship. Promises opens with the certified banger “Monster Feet\,” injecting an instant shot of energy into the ears before segueing into the plaintive melodies and funky basslines of “Silent Treatment.” From there\, Little Earthquakes takes the listener on a delightful auditory journey that traces an orbit from cosmic disco\, new wave\, and post-punk to electropop\, neo-soul\, and alternative R&B. Kubena’s enchanting vocal style and evocative lyrics are the glue that holds it all together.  \n“I feel like we’re living in an alternate reality\,” Kubena intones on “Cheap Dystopian Dream\,” a digital bonus track. Little Earthquakes was formed just prior to the COVID-19 lockdowns and the band has come a long way. The group’s music provides a palliative for the blues of navigating a strange new world plagued by disease\, war\, social unrest\, and economic instability. Promises offers hard evidence that creativity and expression can thrive despite\, and indeed because of\, adverse circumstances. Anyone looking for spiritual nourishment or a perceptual realignment should support this project and come out for what promises to be a lively\, effervescent occasion. Local self-described “synth-driven indie dream pop” duo Pink Halo rounds out the bill for a perfect complement.  \n—Jason Fuhrman \n \nPhoto by Chris Hynes Photography.

SUMMARY:Maggie Cousin Shapes Quintet\, Maestranza at Bur Oak
DESCRIPTION:As a saxophonist\, Maggie Cousin draws on many threads of jazz improvisation and composition. As a producer\, Cousin brings an equally versatile approach to hip-hop. They’ve spent the past few years contributing both sax and beats to live hip-hop outfit D’Funk And The Grease Monkeys\, creating music for sprawling multimedia projects with a multidisciplinary arts residency and Tandem Press\, performing in various ensembles both on and off campus\, and occasionally DJing at the Hot Summer Gays series. And capping off their undergrad music studies at UW-Madison with a recital in 2022. \nWhat Cousin hasn’t gotten to do just yet is to pick off where their “Millennial Jazz” residency at Café Coda left off. Launched in fall 2019\, the recurring gig gave Cousin and other forward-looking musicians a great platform to showcase their own original music\, and to explore compositions from a whole range of forebears—Ornette Coleman\, Joe Henderson\, and Jaimie Branch\, to name a few. A balance of deep perspective and youthful defiance made the residency one of the most rewarding things in Madison’s music landscape (for my money\, at least)\, but the pandemic cut things off all too soon. At this Bur Oak show\, Cousin will be playing some new originals they conceive of as “a collage of shapes\,” with trumpeter Charlie Palm\, pianist Luke Leavitt\, drummer Jordan Kowalski\, and bassist Aden Stier. \n“This project is kind of a return [to] focusing on playing original instrumental music after just kinda doing Grease Monkeys and playing other people’s gigs for a while\,” Cousin says. “It’s gonna be groove-based stuff with hip-hop and dance music influence. The shapes concept is something I’ve been thinking about as a way of encouraging listeners to engage with the music based on what they hear and not about how complex or technical it is. I want the main idea to be something that anybody can feel like they can grasp and think about.”  That accessible spirit\, paired with an adventurous vocabulary\, runs through all the memorable work Cousin has done so far. \n—Scott Gordon \nGhosts by Maggie Cousin  Photo by Dimitrius Olver.
