Dots
"It’s been just over a year since Dot.s released their sophomore full length, the whimsical and prismatic We Swim, and while the band has kept plenty busy with shows and touring, their musical output has remained noticeably quiet. Today, however, we’re happy to announce the group is finally breaking their silence with “Rose Lens,” a taut and sleek new single that highlights Dot.s penchant for turning bubbling synths and twitching rhythms into art/dance rock of the highest caliber. Recorded with Damon Moon at Standard Electric Recorders Co., the track unfurls in steady waves, each atmospheric pulse and burbling groove striding confidently into the next. Yet, despite its swaggering self-assurance, “Rose Lens” finds the band working in a darker mood than in the past, confronted by the dread of isolation, fallible memories, and the silent voices that keep us awake at night. Still, the vibe here is more meditative than dreary, more coming to terms than a statement of disillusion. Throughout it all, the methodical beat and throbbing ambience thrust inexorably forward, shrouding any thoughts of gloom in a shimmering haze of brooding electropop. Life is still full of wonder, after all, even if it isn’t always pretty." -Immersive Atlanta

Wieuca
A phoenix rising from the ashes of the Dirty South, Atlanta's prodigal sons Wieuca will be reuniting at 529 after a tumultuous breakup and months of costly legal disputes between members. Ironically, the purpose of Wieuca's reunion show is for the individual members to make enough money to continue litigating each other over a copyright contention that spurred the initial breakup. Will they coalesce onstage with an effortless grace (which could perhaps lead to an eventual out of court settlement), or will tensions boil over and erupt into all-out indie rocker warfare? Come and find out! --John Foy & Associates [The Strong Arm]
