Charalambides performs "Spring"

Tom and Christina Carter are seemingly unrestrained by all boundaries, be they the kind that form loose musical genres or be they the kind that form accepted words in the English language. The Austin based husband-wife duo, called Charalambides (look it up), makes a stop at Soundlab this Saturday (June 9) for a 9pm show. To describe their magic let’s consult that bible of hip, Pitchfork: “...Here again [they] showcase their seemingly innate ability to lock into a shared orbit across the darkening sky, their luminous drift scaled down to its essential, irreducible core.” Who, we ask, can afford to miss something as ponderous, primal and je ne sais quoi as that? Charalambides is joined by hypno-drone trio GHQ.
