Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Marnie Stern’s head-spinning guitar prowess reaches greater heights on her dazzling new album “The Chronicles of Marnia,” which came out in March on Kill Rock Stars. On Tuesday, she visits the Satellite, supported by SISU and Qui.

@Seraphina_L recommends: Big Black Delta at Bardot on Monday. Ex-Mellowdrone man main Jonathan Bates, who has toured with M83, officially celebrates the long-awaited release of BBD’s self-titled album tonight. Other acts rounding out the bill for the free It’s a School Night series include Portland-based Dan Vidmar’s R&B project Shy Girls, Swedish singer-songwriter Emily Ejwertz and New York’s the Last Internationale.
