12. Great Grandpa, Bread Pilot, Coach Phillips
    Here are Sean Nelson's words on Great Grandpa: "Everything about this band is a complete joy. Their 2017 album, Plastic Cough, remains one of the best releases by a Seattle band in recent memory. The lyrics are sharp, the loud guitar tone is the friendliest kind of distortion, the melodies stick in your brain like a pickax, and the influences are pleasingly familiar to 1990s indie rock adepts without going over. If you’re young, they’re just an excellent band. But if you’re old, Great Grandpa is like bumping into an old friend you haven’t seen in years, only to discover that it’s actually their kid." Catch them in Fremont with opening support from alt-poppers Bread Pilot and sunny indie-rockers Coach Phillips.
    (Fremont, $8)

13. Gregg Belisle-Chi, Jim Knapp's Scrape Orchestra, Mike Dumovich
    New York guitarist Gregg Belisle-Chi writes artful songs that combine elements of chamber orchestra music and early Low. He’s in town supporting his third album, Book of Hours (out in May), whose eight songs come across as an apotheosis of slowcore and the contemplative, austere jazz of ECM Records—although “Gloria” sounds like a bizarre, muted outtake from Miles’s On the Corner, and is therefore awesome. A poignant stillness courses through the album; fans of Bill Frisell and Nels Cline should love the hushed splendor of Book of Hours. DAVE SEGAL

Depending on whom you ask, it’s either a booster shot to music retailers or a headache for smaller labels that have to compete with major labels to get their releases pressed on time. Many Seattle shops participate by offering special releases and sales, and some even have in-store performances. DAVE SEGAL

106. Damon Krukowski: Ways of Hearing
     Probably best known for generating the gentle pulses and ambling beats for contemplative indie-rock greats Galaxie 500 and Damon & Naomi, Damon Krukowski has gained notoriety this decade as an incisive essayist who’s scrutinized how streaming services shaft musicians with pitiful royalty rates. Beyond that important topic, he’s written the books The New Analog: Listening and Reconnecting in a Digital World (2017) and this year’s Ways of Hearing, the latter of which is a deep dive into how transitioning from analog to digital audio has transformed people’s “perceptions of time, space, love, money, and power.” Spoiler alert: Krukowski favors human rhythms over algorithms.
