Drop Electric, The Mast, Psychic Twin at Knitting Factory [8PM/$7]

Three innovative, vocal-centric live electronic acts play an early show at the Knit. Mostly we’re listing this cuz The Mast is playing, an absurdly talented live electronic duo of vocalist Haale and percussionist/producer Matt Kilmer. Haale has a voice unlike anything I’ve ever heard – phenomenally powerful, nuanced, and with a compelling, hypnotic quality. Paired with Matt’s gorgeous, deft beats (both sequenced and live), they conjure lush electronica reminiscent of the Knife, Massive Attack or Bjork, while maintaining their own distinct, moody groove. Prepare to be entranced by their sound, and blown away by their musicianship.
