Deep Sea Diver front woman Jessica Dobson’s voice is one of experience. Dobson, who performs with the Shins and has played with the likes of Beck and Conor Oberst, brings a smoky, wise-beyond-her-years maturity to the band’s latest, a collection of four ambient-pop tunes called Always Waiting. Though brief, the EP shows why Dobson and her band have had such success. Her lyrics are intimate and honest, and the band manages to pack a variety of textures—from earthy guitar riffs to blasts of synth—into just 20 minutes of music. With Delta Spirit, SACCO. The Neptune, 1303 N.E. 45th St., 682-1414, stgpresents.org/neptune. 8 p.m. $18 adv./$20 DOS. All ages. ACP

Seattle two-piece ODESZA

makes electronic music for people who don’t like electronic music. In Return, the latest album from Harrison Mills (CatacombKid) and Clayton Knight (BeachesBeaches), is as chillwave as it gets, a breath of fresh air from the relentless energy of EDM cuts. The pair creates atmospheric songs with dreamy melodies, with multiple vocalists—including Zyra (“Say My Name”), Jenni Potts (“White Lies”), and Monsoonsiren (“Memories That You Call”)—adding a grounded feel. From the looks of it, people are responding well to Odesza’s relaxed vibe; most of their North American tour dates are sold out, including both of these shows. Through Friday (tickets to Thursday’s DJ set at Neumos are still available). With Hayden James, Ambassadeurs. The Showbox, 1426 First Ave., 628-3151, showboxpresents.com. 9 p.m. SOLD OUT. All ages.

Wimps—the punk-rock trio of Rachel Ratner, Matt Nyce, and Dave Ramm—manages to turn seemingly mundane topics (couches, snakes, space, things that are too hard, and the Super Moon) into the inspiration for a handful of ridiculously fun songs on its latest EP, Couches. Ratner’s snarled and spunky vocal style adds even more power to the short, sharp tunes. With the Tripwires, Eyelids. Sunset Tavern, 5433 Ballard Ave. N.W., 784-4880, sunset
