The magnificent racket made by the union of arty, angular rock trio the A Frames and guitar-driven sonic architects Climax Golden Twins is one happy marriage, despite sounding downright apocalyptic. Guitars shriek and wail like torture victims one moment and descend into nearly-Zen, meditative squalls the next. Their eponymous debut for Sub Pop is a miraculous meld of elaborate psych atmospherics and brutal punk poundings that gel with impressive graceand its easily one of the best local records of 2010. Tonight they celebrate the release of that recording with their longtime pals in Kinski, who are equally adept at bringing the proverbial noise. Audio Armageddon rarely sounds so glorious chaotic and concise at once. HANNAH LEVIN
