18. Typhoon [Saturday, 930PM, Central Presbyterian Church]
Music critics throw around adjectives like “orchestral” and “expansive” all the time these days. Now here's a band that actually deserves such labels. Portland's Typhoon is an indie rock geek's dream: a dynamic 12-piece with a seemingly unending reservoir of energy, emotive vocals, arpeggiated guitars, horns, multiple drum kits, strings—there are so many sonic details crammed into the five tracks on A New Kind of House, the band's second official release, that you might need two pairs of headphones to properly connect the dots.
