DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:[SLOW POP] Tonight’s show is officially a release party for Seattle quartet the Soft Hills’ debut album<span style="font-style: italic;">, </span><i>The Bird is Coming Down to Earth</i>, but the band’s accompanying acts allow the evening to also function as an unofficial showcase of the Northwest’s growing cabal of midtempo indie-rock workmen. Houndstooth and Pure Bathing Culture have both carved healthy homes for themselves in the woods of nostalgia-minded rock, and it appears that that verdure is still fertile enough to allow room for the Soft Hills. The quartet plays a slow-burning brand of psychedelic folk that never rises in tempo above a canter, choosing instead to focus on its remarkable depths of texture.
