In the current issue of Philadelphia Weekly:
Surface to Air
Sun., July 15, 8pm. $7. With Rake, Nick Millevoi. Café Clave, 4305 Locust St. 215.386.3436 www.riprig.com
There’s serenity but also a restless spark in the music of Surface to Air. Jonathan Golberger’s acoustic guitar and Jonti Siman’s upright bass give a hint of stripped-down folk and jazz. Rohin Khemani’s tabla and percussion bring an energized North Indian element, pushing the trio into open improvised terrain. The eponymous debut is mostly original, but even the cover of “Heysátan” by Sigur Rós and the theme from Blood Simple end up sounding like originals. At the new underground music series Rip Rig (first and third Sundays), they’ll share a bill with local six- and 12-string guitar maverick Nick Millevoi and the duo Rake (Ryan A. Miller, Jake Nussbaum). — David R. Adler
