Eight Picks for Your Week
■ Monday: British power trio Band of Skulls is back with their fifth album, “Love Is All You Love” (released in April) and playing in L.A. for the first time since 2016. Their show at the Echo was originally scheduled for May, but visa issues forced postponement. Monday’s gig at the Echo is sold out (you might have some luck here) and it’s value-added with loud-and-proud L.A.-via-London duo BONES UK opening. (If you miss BoS this time, they’re back Oct. 5 at La Santa in Santa Ana and Oct. 6 at the Mayan.)
■ Tuesday: Melbourne quintet Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever hit the Lodge Room in support of their 2018 album “Hope Downs” (and their new single “In the Capital”). Tickets.
■ Thursday: A week away from the release of her second album “Bird Songs of a Killjoy,” singer-songwriter Bedouine brings her sublime folk music to the Moroccan Lounge. You’ll swear time is standing still when she sings (see “Echo Park”). Tickets.
■ Thursday: Weyes Blood was remarkable in April at the Masonic Lodge when she previewed her album “Titanic Rising,” and it’s hard to think Natalie Mering will be anything less than that this week at the Troubadour. Sold out.
■ Thursday/Friday: It’s been almost five years since Alex Brown Church — aka Sea Wolf — released music. There may be new work on the horizon, but first there are two special shows highlighting the music of 2014’s “Song Spells, No. 1: Cedarsmoke” (watch the recently released video triptych here). Accompanied by a string quartet, Sea Wolf will perform two nights at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever. Friday’s show is sold out; tickets remain for Thursday.
■ Thursday/Friday: The glamtastic Diane Coffee (ex-Foxygen drummer Shaun Fleming) has two shows celebrating last month’s release of the new album “Internet Arms:” Thursday at the Constellation Room and Friday at the Teragram Ballroom.
■ Friday: “I Never Wanted Company,” the blistering sophomore album from L.A. quartet Ramonda Hammer, comes out Friday. That night, they headline the Echo on a value-added bill that includes Spare Parts for Broken Hearts, Cosmo Gold and your best set of earplugs. Tickets.
■ Saturday: Shannon Lay last week announced that her next album, “August,” will be out Aug. 23 via Sub Pop. She brings her understated but transportative music to the Love Song Bar in downtown L.A. for a free show. It’s recommended — and what’s even more recommended, considering the shows we’ve seen in the Love Song: Shut your trap while she’s playing.
