Sporting a sonic kaleidoscope that includes psychedelic rock, intimate shoegaze, dark new-wave and driving dance beats; Chicago’s Stardusk Encounter have quite the pedigree for major success in the area. In a scene where bands seem chained to their specific genre, Stardusk Encounter are a consistently shape-shifting entity, yet the unique mixture of styles isn’t there as a hollow grab for every possible audience. This is a band of well-schooled multi-instrumentalists, clearly writing and performing on their own terms with a canyon-wide palette of slinky, ominous sounds.
