His Name Is Alive, with Perfume Genius. Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave., 441-7416. 8 p.m. $10. Over the years, there’s been no pinning down Warren Defever, the prolific mainstay of His Name Is Alive. The Michigan native has glided from twitchy dream-pop and lush Beach Boys homage to recontextualized soul and blues. Perhaps that’s why his albums age so well – they’re out of time – and place – from the second he makes them. His career has been defined by freewheeling variety. Defever often has a female singer deliver his surreal, romantic lyrics, creating a certain distance between us and him. But his omnivorous taste, askew sensibilities, and dewy production are all over everything he does. DOUG WALLEN
