Above: That’s the video for Mr. Little Jean’s “Good Mistake.” The brain child of Monica Birkenes, Mr. Little Jeans headlines the Troubadour on Tuesday with Night Things as support.

Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Canadian indie-pop band Alvvays bring their fuzzy, fizzy songs to the Echo on Friday in support of their self-titled debut album on Polyvinyl. Oh, and if you want to witness a sheer rock-off, Dorothy’s final residency night at the Bootleg on Monday features a set from EFG. Blissfully heavy.

@Seraphina_L recommends: If you’re in the mood for a bit of soul and pop before you pop a turkey into the oven this week, then Sweden’s Erik Hassle – who is currently writing his new album in Lo Angeles – is your best best. We last saw with MØ and last heard tunes like “Pathetic” and “Talk About It” from his ‘Somebody’s Part”y EP. Hassle performs Tuesday at the Echo. Conway and Machineheart open.
