The Carousel Lounge is hosting a night of mysterious, dark and definitely dense music tomorrow in the form of a couple of reclusive Texas bands.

Headdress (formerly Worship) specialize in predominately instrumental songs thick with echo, space and traditional elements. Fans of Dirty Three will like the band's latest album, Turquoise, a dark, brooding jaunt into a dimly lit motel room on the edge of some southwestern town. Each note and every carefully chosen guitar lick fall carefully into place, purposefully, amidst the ominous compositions. They'll be joined by San Marcos' Silver Pines, a band that manages to bring together French horn, country-tinged guitars and soaring yet frail female vocals together. Both of these bands bring a certain kind of darkness to traditional country and folk music, and will be exciting for fans of older Shearwater tunes, the previously mentioned Dirty Three and Low. They'll be joined by Cavedweller, specializing in lo-fi psych folk.
