The magnificent racket made by the union of arty, angular rock trio the A Frames and guitar-driven sonic architects Climax Golden Twins is one happy marriage, despite sounding downright apocalyptic. Guitars shriek and wail like torture victims one moment and descend into nearly-Zen, meditative squalls the next. Their eponymous debut for Sub Pop is a miraculous meld of elaborate psych atmospherics and brutal punk poundings that gel with impressive grace–and it’s easily one of the best local records of 2010. Tonight they celebrate the release of that recording with their longtime pals in Kinski, who are equally adept at bringing the proverbial noise. Audio Armageddon rarely sounds so glorious chaotic and concise at once. HANNAH LEVINHypatia Lake, with The Staxx Brothers, Jabon, Ayo.O. Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave., 441-7416. 8 p.m. $10.The local experimental rock outfit Hypatia Lake is somewhat similar to the Flaming Lips and the Black Heart Procession in terms of grandiose, ultradramatic hits of sound. It all seems to take place in a swirling, psychedelic dream space interspersed with the occasional yowling vocal or soft acoustic guitar – a sound unique enough to catch the attention of local producer Scott Colburn, who’s worked with the likes of Animal Collective and the Arcade Fire. And while they are a concept group revolving around a fictitious town of the same name, where cowboys and candy workers run amok, Hypatia Lake’s bombastic sound takes us to a different fantasy land – it should have been commissioned for the soundtrack to Avatar. Reverbing electric guitars and bizarre sound samples? Echoing vocals and long stretches of kaleidoscopic instrumental breaks? All while watching the Marines bulldoze and firebomb those creepy blue people? James Cameron would eat that shit up. ERIN K. THOMPSONMark Farina, with DJ Mercedes, Deep Vibez. Neumos, 925 Pike St., 709-9467. 10 p.m. $15. The deep house don rides into town on the back of his latest release, the Geograffiti EP, available digitally this month via Great Lakes Audio. But this is merely an excuse for Farina: he played Seattle as recently as August 21, when he spun at Heaven Nightclub for free. The Chicago-born, San Francisco-based jock’s jazzy, groovy sounds have given him a fan base the likes of which most DJs only dream of in between begging club owners for gigs. Farina’s style may not surprise very often–he favors downtempo beats and melodic instrumentation–but consistency has its rewards, too. KEVIN CAPP
