Noa Babayof and Ex Reverie are part of the same Philadelphia scene that spawned Espers, so the two bands naturally gravitate toward the gothic side of the freak-folk spectrum. Both outfits also feature bewitching female vocals, howling guitar, and the unsettling undertow of cellos. Ex Reverie offer the best description of tonight's showcase on their MySpace site: "Glam Rock from the year 1066."
