Social Studies (Saturday @ 12:45, Twin Peaks Stage)

There’s at least one good reason to not get too burnt out on Friday. It’s San Fran natives Social Studies, who are playing an early set on Saturday. They’re a must-see for me since their single “Terracur” got stuck in my head without any sign of leaving. Natalia Rogovin’s beautiful, bitter vocals are the perfect match for the band’s instrumentation, built from stark drums, glitzy music box melodies, and subtle guitar work that punctuates every moody melody. “Terracur” isn’t a fluke either; their new record, Developer, was almost criminally overlooked last year and I’m excited to see what they can do with it live.
