Music news Buy the new N.E.C. 10-inch this weekend and get two free beers

This Sunday the N.E.C. will celebrate the release of their new 10-inch EP with Lexington, Kenn.'s Jovontaes at Vacation Gallery & Boutique. According to the band if you come to the show and buy a record they will give two free beers. So you can't really go wrong.
Layers of rich, sonic depth crowd the simple songwriting at the center of the N.E.C.'s side of this split 10-inch EP. A spiral of guitars, hiss and reverb melt into a thick shag carpet of sound with "Old Medicine." "Aria Girl" drags out a haunting and hypnotic rock mantra that mutates into a morphine tribal haze. On the flip side, Jovontaes' "Paradise City" holds a formless, experimental quality as it lumbers like a freight train, focusing on a single, plodding pace where all of the action happens in the periphery. Each side counters the other with a slur of damaged, psychedelic dirge. The N.E.C. side stretches out into the ether, while Jovontaes guides its song on an intensely inward journey.
The N.E.C./Jovontaes record release show. Free. 9 p.m. Sat., March 7. Vacation Gallery & Boutique, 674 N. Highland Ave. 404-875-4413.
