Five acts you can only see at NXNE on Wednesday

Anamai

Sludge punk Anna Mayberry de-grungifies and dials up the reverb and Appalachian influences on her neo-folk solo project. Her debut album, Sallows, came out on Buzz in March. 

With Blonde Redhead at the Opera House (735 Queen East), 9 pm. $25.

Moon King

Toronto duo Daniel Woodhead and Maddy Wilde pair dream pop with power chords on the 80s-indie-invoking debut LP Secret Life, which they released via Last Gang after working with Fucked Up guitarist Mike Haliechuk’s One Big Silence on two EPs.

At the Horseshoe (370 Queen West), 11 pm. $20.

Lower Dens

Known for their focus on transhumanism, the cerebral Baltimore indie band warms to matters of the heart and gives maximal attention to Jana Hunter’s expressive vocals on their third LP, Escape From Evil. 

At the Horseshoe (370 Queen West), midnight. $20.

Terra Lightfoot

The Hamiltonian singer/guitarist released her second album, Every Time My Mind Runs Wild, in April. NOW critic Matt Williams called it a “rock ’n’ roll guitar fan’s wet dream.” Prepare to be slayed.
