When Olly Knights sings, "I panic at the quiet times," you worry about him. How can he withstand the emotional demons at the door of his soul? His house? His friends’ houses? Yet for all his shivering, Knights’ voice contains a strength, a nobility, that radiates throughout the shimmering ’70s sensation of Turin Brakes’ sound. The sleek-but-chunky glam and Southern Cali-comfort country twang are punctuated by slide guitarist Gale Paridjanian. For their new Ether Song (Astralwerks), Paridjanian and Knights hardly suggest the same level of sinister sadness. Instead -- with a new psychedelic swirl and heavenly harmonies added to their beachfront glitter pop -- the boys of TB seem angry and unwound in ways that make "Panic Attack" and "Full of Stars" seem positively sniper-like and sweaty.
Wed., April 2, 9 p.m., $8-$10, with James Yorkston, The Khyber, 56 S. Second St., 215-238-5888.
