The Armchairs
"Nebraska"
Playing at: Glasslands Gallery (289 Kent Ave., Williamsburg)
Get: Tickets ($8 at door) | Directions
Psych-pop quartet the Armchairs hail from Philly, but they sound more like they come from some forgotten desert commune where psychedelia never went out of style. The band counts Os Mutantes and the Mothers of Invention among their influences, and on this track, it's clear why. "Nebraska," with its fun, tripped-out, harmonized breakdown and bizarre lyrics, dips deep from the well of quirky pop.
