Karen / Davey Woodward and The Winter Orphans at Exchange
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Local scene royalty and Brilliant Corners/Experimental Pop Band alumnus Davey Woodward joins both Karen and The Winter Orphans for a ramshackle new wave/alt-rock/twee pop double-billing. With scrappy poetics, lo-fi intimacy and finely wrought codas, this is C86-style indie with actual C86 pedigree! Essential FFO: Big Star, Wilco, The Pastels, Hefner, Sarah Records."
