Above: That’s the video for the smokin’ track “Confidence” by the Dodos, whose new album “Carrier” came out this summer on Polyvinyl. To really get the video, though, you should check out the 2-year-old clip for “Companions” – it’s a prequel. The Dodos play Tuesday at the El Rey Theatre.
Our staff picks of the week:
@KRBronson recommends: Joining the circus. Color me curious, but Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros’ Big Top – running Thursday through Sunday at Los Angeles State Historic Park – looks like a wacky way to spend a day. Besides the music, which includes a concert in the round from the folk ensemble, as well as the likes of Fool’s Gold, Aaron Embry, Las Cafeteras and Cillie Barnes, the event ($60, except $50 for Sunday’s family matinee) offers magic, cabaret, a farmer’s market, contortionists, acrobats, puppetry, performance art and more. No clowning. Or maybe so.
@Seraphina_L recommends: The Haim sisters will be taking over a venue in their hometown for the first time since the release of their debut “Days Are Gone.” They play Wednesday at the Fonda where fellow L.A. band IO Echo supports.
