morningbenders-march2010-LSCan you dream under water? That’s the feeling the new Caribou album “Swim” gives me – ambient electro-pop that tugs you into its currents. Dan Snaith and his quartet play the El Rey Theatre tonight (Toro Y Moi opens) on an evening there are so many worthy shows that I feel as if I am under water. … Broken Bells plays to a sold-out Fonda Theatre, with support coming in the form of young indie-rock phenoms the Morning Benders [pictured]. … Reflection Eternal, the collab between rapper Talib Kweli and producer Hi-Tek (who just released their first album in a decade), plays the House of Blues. … Also: Sara Radle, Andrew Lynch and Correatown at Spaceland; Horse Feathers at the Bootleg Theater; Henry Wolfe and Farmer Dave Scher at the Hotel Cafe; Julieta Venegas at Club Nokia; Night 2 of Massive Attack at the Wiltern; Standing Shadows at the Troubadour; the Tender Box at the Viper Room; Baths at the Airliner; the Allah Las at the Silverlake Lounge; and Non Ultra Joy at El Cid.
