A chamber ensemble led by composer Ara Anderson, Iron & the Albatross weave together songs that are both playful and wistful. Listening to the group's music is like discovering a trove of antique postcards depicting a turn-of-the-century traveling circus inside a dusty, lacquered music box; the melodies are intricate, and alternately twist, twirl, and amble, then suddenly burst forth with bravado. The outfit is part of a close-knit network of anachronistic instrumental bands like 2 Foot Yard, Tin Cup Serenade, and Kugelplex; opening this evening is kindred spirit Katy Stephan, a classically trained chanteuse whose sonic valentines are both swoony and heartfelt.
