"Trap-pop" is not a phrase you'd think would warrant a lot of fanfare, but Detroit based Jamaican Queens make it seem like a revelation on their latest album, Wormfood. Deep, dusty beats accompanied by folksy songwriting which, on tracks like "Wellfleet Outro," manage to straddle a line between melancholy and irreverent. Songs get yanked in every direction by acoustic guitars, boy-girl harmonies and kinetic instrumentals, yet nothing ever feels out of place. This level of unpredictably is often attempted but rarely pulled off as successfully as it is here, even pulling off an unexpected grand crescendo on ballad, "Sharkteeth." They'll be stopping by The Vault tonight with local support from Lesionread and Ay Fast. Doors are at 8pm.
