If there’s a music critic equivalent of finding five bucks in a pair of jeans you haven’t worn in a minute, it would be finding an unopened, weeks-old promo mailer in your desk mess that just happens to have some great music in it. That’s what happened to me this week, and the music in question is the debut EP from local dream-surf-goth quartet Tiger Bones, Go Over Here. Formerly known as Gay Baby, the group rebooted itself recently and started making weird, gray-toned pop music that Monica Kendrick describes as “enough to make you picture pale goths with black parasols on the beach, getting high enough to like it without giving up their passion for the sinister undertone.” The show she’s previewing is tonight at the Whistler, and it’s a release party for Go Over Here, which will be available on vinyl and as a free download. You can check out the opening track, “Kill Them,” here. It’s really, really good.
