Beach House pen cool, dreamsicle pop for summer. For whatever season, listeners are transported to beach land, Cali or Brooklyn, sand in hair, waves breaking offshore with every repetitive melodic synth line. For 14 years, Beach House have been materializing the ethereal into those rolling sonic waves of instant nostalgia, sped up and slowed down in the way that memory alters time. Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally spin music that floats, drifts or dreams its way into listener psyche—and makes them feel like it’s been there all along. Fans of Tame Impala and Yo La Tengo will appreciate the dynamic dude-chick interplay of chi and the soft, gentle builds that mimic euphoria while interjecting a subtle longing—if only moments like this could last. With Ed Schrader’s Music Beat Thursday, Aug. 2, Rialto Theatre, 318 E. Congress. Doors at 7 p.m. $30-$45. —B.S. Eliot. Details here.

Odyssey Storytelling Presents: Red Flags. That guy you were dating who said he still lived with his parents because “it’s complicated.” That job you had in college where your boss told you he’d “pay you when he could.” The 2016 presidential campaign season. At this event, seven local storytellers will tell true tales about times in their own lives that they’ve ignored red flags—or even failed to notice them. After all, hindsight is 20/20. It’ll be a fun way to support local artists, and to remind yourself that you’re not the only one who’s made this mistake. 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 2. The Sea of Glass Center for the Arts, 330 E. Seventh St. $10 GA, $7 student with ID. Details here.
