Last year Brooklynites Daniel Hindman and Sarah Verspille, in between tours with Vetiver, for which he plays guitar and she plays keys, moved to Portland and started a dream-pop band called Pure Bathing Culture. Their first single, “Ivory Coast,” floats on a breeze of soft synths and reverbing guitars and vocals, bearing little resemblance to the folksy sounds of Vetiver. Later this month, the duo will release their first EP, produced by Richard Swift, which will be followed by an “Ivory Coast” music video directed by Sean Pecknold. Tonight, they open for the show for their friends, Jessica Dobson’s phenomenal Deep Sea Diver. With Ravenna Woods. ERIN K. THOMPSON
