The Goods: Other Lives, Indians, Taarka

By Aaron Davis (for JHWeekly.com)Meticulous LivesOnetime Radiohead and Bon Iver tour mates, Other Lives, released Tamer Animals in February 2011. Thom Yorke of Radiohead followed with a remix of the title track on his Atoms for Peace project. The onslaught of recognition followed, and connoisseurs of meticulously written and arranged music with the pastoral richness and grandiose of Fleet Foxes or Andrew Bird have reason to be inquisitive.Having toured consistently for the better part of the last year and a half, the band has reportedly become nearly flawless at recreating album tracks. The array of orchestration includes classical, modern and homemade (deer antlers with bells), with a layering intention of drawing the concertgoer in and allowing oneself to collapse within each nuance. Band members are Jesse Tabish (vocals, piano, guitar and percussion), Jenny Hsu (cello and backing vocals), Jon Mooney (violin, horns, piano and percussion), Colby Owens (clarinet and percussion) and Josh Onstott (bass and percussion).Opening the show is the atmospheric folk of Indians, the musical alter ego of Copenhagen resident Søren Løkke Juul. While Indians only played its first concert in in February 2012 and self-released a debut single in April, Juul has garnered enough attention to perform shows across Europe and in North America. Other Lives and Indians, 9:30 p.m., Monday, at the Pink Garter Theatre. Tickets are $12/advance, $14/day of show, available at The Rose or PinkGarterTheatre.com. 733-1500.World of TaarkaExotic, old world music by rambling gypsies that cover hundreds of miles by day, supplying intricate, inviting world compositions by night. It makes sense that Taarka – its name originating from a process that involves roasting spices to create the base for an Indian culinary delicacy – has sprung from many different facets of U.S., Eastern and Western culture. Over the last decade, the core duo of David Tiller (mandolin, four and eight-string tenor guitars, vocals) and Enion Pelta-Tiller (five-string violin, vocals) have built a sound with classically-trained hands, yet their self-penned “indie-gypsy chamber folk” breathes the notion of experience melded with precise technique. The music demands a high tier of musicianship from their band mates, and the hours of practice are evident. Taarka, 9 to 11 p.m., Friday, at Vino Rosso in Idaho Falls. Free. VinoRossoIdaho.com.
