Pica Beats
No local album released this year has become more solidly lodged in my heavy rotation than the Pica Beats' dreamy sophomore effort, Beating Back the Claws of the Cold. Singer-songwriter Ryan Barrett spins plucky melodies and impressionistic yarns dotted with lyrical details, and his band surrounds him with endearing, wavering vocal harmonies and a ramshackle assortment of instruments (including sitar and oboe). Their songs have the feeling of fragile hope thawing out of low-lit autumnal melancholy. Seattle is lucky to call the Pica Beats its own. (Comet, 922 E Pike St, 323-9853. 9 pm, $6, 21+.) ERIC GRANDY
