Vary Lumar entrances with the hypnotic improvisation of a spinning game. Arms outstretched and twirling, reality is the flickering, half-caught images of a swiftly changing perspective. Chiming guitar, interweaving bass, many-voiced keys and soft cymbals layer complex rhythms in controlled motion, their patterned steps balanced with the current of clear, high vocals. But it is not simply a flawless progression. A beat just offset from where it is expected, an abrasive riff punctuating the melodic flow, both dynamic and an intimation of discord kept at bay. Until the tumult erupts and you are kept from the plunge by momentum alone. Catch your breath and keep on going Saturday, July 17th at Great Scott, where Vary Lumar are appearing with the Honors, Black Forest of Opium, and Click Clack Boom.
