Music: Rock/Pop The Ruby Suns w/ the Happy Hollows

Harking back to indie's '80s heyday, Cali three-piece the Happy Hollows punctuate their terror-tinged twee with jabby art-rock riffs. Pitchfork darlings the Ruby Suns, meanwhile, take their pop sensibilities further afield, tempering the almighty indie anthem with bizarre orchestral accoutrements. That's not to say the ensemble's freakouts aren't rife with the sweetness of endless summer. Rather, like the similarly far-out work of the Olivia Tremor Control and Apples in Stereo, their airy paeans to the Beach Boys are deliciously wry and artfully devious.
