\"Pitchfork<\/a><\/p>\n

Catharsis, virtuosity, spectacle, escape. Pitchfork\u2019s annual Chicago festival, at its best, offers heightened moments of all four, and in the most prized of moments, all four at once. Here are five acts per day that promise moments well worth remembering, and a good chance of something unforgettable. Check back next week to read my review of what went down.<\/p>\n

Friday, July 15<\/h4>\n

Car Seat Headrest\u2028<\/strong>
\nWith the extended narrative conceits of his songs, singer-songwriter Will Toledo offers catharsis in the literal form: blood-letting, throat-ripping, climactic expulsions of emotion. If the band\u2019s live show lives up to the melodrama of their records, this will be an early highlight of the weekend.<\/p>\n

Twin Peaks<\/strong>
\nTwin Peaks\u2019 P4k debut was marred, perhaps, by singer\/guitarist Cadien Lake James being confined to a wheelchair. Actually, it was an example of limits breeding invention, as he rose to the occasion and turned the set into a demonstration of his ferocious work ethic. I hope they\u2019re half as good with all limbs intact.<\/p>\n

Mick Jenkins<\/strong>
\nHip-hop almost always rules on the Blue Stage. When a hungry and skilled MC with something to prove steps up, the virtuosity itself can be a spectacle. Mick Jenkins has all the necessary chops to turn this into a \u201cyeah, I saw him back when\u201d story like so many (e.g. Freddie Gibbs, Kendrick Lamar, Danny Brown) that have come before.<\/p>\n

The Range<\/strong>
\nJames Hinton offers virtuosity and wicked creativity. This will probably be \u201cjust\u201d a DJ set, meaning there won\u2019t be much to look at. So it will be a chance to relish the journey and Hinton\u2019s particular viewpoint, as well as the way he juxtaposes beats, songs, and samples. Nobody combines attitude and atmosphere quite like The Range, for whom the surprises are more than half the fun.<\/p>\n

Shamir<\/strong>
\nThe Blue Stage after dark is where the weirdest kids in the park go to get loose. Shamir offers a couple of temperaments: one an ironic take on electronic R&B; the other a surprisingly tender bedroom recordist. His vulnerable persona makes him the kind of artist to whom people get very personally attached, so expect a set that offers the full range, but definitely a party. Be prepared for some real emotion to be on display, too, (i.e. teenagers losing their shit).<\/p>\n

Saturday, July 16<\/h4>\n

Kevin Morby<\/strong>
\nThis is some good programming. Morby\u2019s songs are by turns grounded and expansive, but rarely designed to raise the blood pressure any more than a small cup of coffee on a Saturday morning. That kid who passes out under the stage will have a perfectly pleasant way to wake up and get ready for the festive day. For those already awake, it\u2019ll be great to get out of one\u2019s head and listen to Morby\u2019s tunes lift off in the sunny live setting.<\/p>\n

Savages\u2028<\/strong>
\nWant catharsis? Savages are like a Cassavetes film transubstantiated into the most urgent band of the 2010s. And yet they remain cooly unaffected by all the heat they throw off. I fully expect them to burn Union Park to the ground and calmly stride over the ashes of the grateful throng.<\/p>\n

Blood Orange<\/strong>
\nI missed Dev Hynes\u2019 set at Pitchfork in 2013, but I can tell you he\u2019s having a bit of a moment right now. His new record, Freetown Sound<\/i>, is excellent, and of all the artists on the main stages, he\u2019s the one most convincingly poised to make the weekend relevant to the wider world.<\/p>\n

Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals\u2028<\/strong>
\nAm I telling you to skip out on Brian Wilson doing Pet Sounds<\/i>? I\u2019m not sure, but I have watched a few videos of Anderson .Paak and his band, and I can assure you this will be something spectacular. And when you take into account the guestlists on Paak\u2019s albums (including a few scheduled for this very fest), there\u2019s a good chance of seeing some positive R&B worth bragging about.<\/p>\n

Holly Herndon<\/strong>
\nThe very moment you determine whether Sufjan Stevens is going big or low-key, rush over to Blue Stage and try to figure out Holly Herndon. She\u2019s a PhD with a penchant for cutting up vocal samples in a way that\u2019s as bewitching as it is mystifying. Her set will be a great escape, no doubt. Or you could sit and listen closely while you wonder how she does it.<\/p>\n

Sunday, July 17<\/h4>\n

Kamasi Washington\u2028<\/strong>
\nMr. Washington\u2019s album, The Epic<\/i>, is easily the most important (and amazing) jazz record of the last 30 years. And his band, the Next Step (two drummers, two upright bass players, keyboard players, three horns players, a pianist, and a vocalist) is straight fire. This is one of your best chances this weekend to see a genius musician (under the age of 70) at work.<\/p>\n

Thundercat<\/strong>
\nHere\u2019s the other genius whose fingers will be flying on Sunday afternoon. (And if we make a sacrifice to the right gods, we might even see the two onstage together.) The truth is, I don\u2019t know what to expect here, and it could be a complete mess. But there\u2019s something about seeing a real prodigy in person, someone who doesn\u2019t just make music but breathes it in and out. The virtuoso bassist Thundercat is one of those. He\u2019s also totally weird, so I can\u2019t wait to see what he\u2019s wearing.<\/p>\n

The Hotelier<\/strong>
\nI know very little about this band, but their latest record, Goodness<\/i>, exudes passion in excess. The story on the blogs is that they\u2019re aching to break out of the emo ghetto. Well, they\u2019ve got a primo set time on the intimate Blue Stage, and the kids who like straight-ahead rock music will be very little served elsewhere this weekend. (Hotelier,\u00a0this is your day, seize it if you can.) Success or failure, it\u2019ll be fun to watch.<\/p>\n

Miguel<\/strong>
\nI just bet he\u2019s going to go for it. Miguel has the second to last set of the festival, performing as the sun starts to slowly set. There\u2019s a likelihood of high romance, and if he brings it, there are a lot of new fans to be made. And if he has any sort of competitive spirit, I\u2019d love to see him make things difficult for the festival closer\u2026<\/p>\n

FKA Twigs<\/strong>
\nWhen FKA Twigs took the Blue Stage in 2014, I was instantly mesmerized. There\u2019s a reason she started as a \u201cVideo Girl\u201d\u2014it\u2019s impossible to take your eyes off of her. More significantly, she has an incredible sense of the theatrical, and a solid handle on her own charisma and appeal. Pitchfork has given her a huge stage and a captive audience that\u2019s used to seeing people like Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper reach for the stars on Sunday night. I have no doubt she\u2019s capable, and I can\u2019t wait to see what kind of drama she has in store for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
