[INDIE] Nan plays drums, Matt plays guitar, and they both sing. And yet even with such a minimal presentation, Schwervon’s indie pop fills out with toe-tapping, tuneful songs full of dark humor and lo-fi charm. Five albums and 15 years on from their NYC beginnings, the duo returned to Matt’s hometown in Kansas to record last year’s Broken Teeth in his dad’s basement (and simultaneously help him convalesce from a bout with lung cancer). Consisting of acoustic versions of songs from the previous I Dream of Teeth set along with two covers, the disc reveals a newfound musical softness paired with uncanny emotional grit. They’re at Sugar City on Thursday with Difficult Night.
