Some parties are tunefests, best experienced with eyes closed while swaying in place. That's how Urban Lounge may be tonight; Strong Words, an alternative-rock band out of Salt Lake City, is throwing a party for their sophomore, self-released album, There Is a River, There Is a Choice. The follow-up to last year's Come Clean features the same dreamy, hazy vocals from Cathy Fox (with Brian Lord and Jamie Richards on backup vocals), with almost-psychedelic rock and groovy bass rhythms. Lord and Fox's complementing guitar riffs in "Parting" are surf-pop-like, but with a calmness and restraint that gives the whole song a nostalgic feel. The final track, "The Inner Light Is a Violent Home," captures tension and traps it under a glossy, soft (and slightly atmospheric) soundscape, slowly escalating into the second part, which releases the pressure while holding on to the dark undertones. Fellow locals High Counsel, The 213s and Soft Limbs complete the lineup. (Tiffany Frandsen)
