TJ Grant has one of those voices that seem to work well with any genre. Whether he’s performing acoustic tunes under his own name or more upbeat songs as his solo project, If Bears Were Bees, the Ravensdale native’s rich voice fits right in. Grant’s latest as himself, the acoustic Runaway TJ, is soulful and honest, recorded in an emotional, unedited burst. His latest as If Bears Were Bees, The Black Arts, on the other hand, is brighter though no less emotional, with Grant backed by bass and percussion. But no matter which, that rich voice rings strong.

Haunted Horses’ latest EP, the first release for the Fainting Room Collective’s Triple-Six Series, is, in a word, bizarre. The guitar riffs drone, the percussion is furious, the vocals are erratic, and the overall vibe is dark. And yet I found myself listening to the EP over and over. The industrial-punk trio of Colin Dawson, Myke Pelly, and Troy Ayala has taken a cacophony of dark sounds and layered them in a way that adds appeal to these truly haunting tunes. If you’re missing the spirit of Halloween, then this release show should be the creepy celebration you crave. With Sayonara, Audrey Home. Chop Suey, 1325 E. Madison St., 324-8005, chopsuey.com. 8 p.m. $5. 21 and over.
Pretty soon, people will be mentioning Shaprece in the same sentence as FKA twigs and Little Dragon’s Yukimi Nagano. For her latest EP, Molting, the singer teamed with producer IG88 and string arrangers Phillip Peterson and Daniel Butman. The result is a collection of songs that falls somewhere between trip-hop and orchestral pop. Shaprece’s sultry voice, subdued at times and always intimate, pairs well with the ambient nature of IG88’s beats, and rises and falls alongside the strings. Molting, which features the previously released “Her Song” and a Blue Sky Black Death remix of “Tell Me,” finds the artist shedding musical layers to create something more minimalistic. With Budo, Theoretics. Columbia City Theater, 4918 Rainier Ave. S., 723-0088, columbiacitytheater.com. 8 p.m. $8 adv./$10 DOS. 21 and over.
