[INDIE] Looking for something delightfully organic and unassuming? Beams, a seven-piece from Toronto, delivers the goods with their earthy blend of rootsy, alt-folk that’s cut with tinges of lo-fi indie pop. The outcome is simultaneously familiar and new, featuring dual fem vocalizing from Anna Mernieks and Heather Mazha set against a backwoods string-stew of banjos, lap steel, and mandolin with occasional flourishes of brash electric guitar. Following their well-received 2013 debut, Just Rivers, they’ve released a series of singles, including a spot-on cover of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill.” With nary a keyboard in sight, this is the perfect remedy for your digital blues. They’re at Mohawk Place on Wednesday, July 19, with the droning talents of locals Be Locust or Alone and Lalalangue.
