[Thursday, November 20] Last year, married North Carolinians Ivan Howard and Kelly Crisp – better known as The Rosebuds – delivered a terrific album of dark, stylish, synth-heavy pop (Night of the Furies) that merged ominous imagery with Howard’s nocturnal guitar, Crisp’s jaunty keys, and the pair’s dramatic vocal interplay in a manner that suggested early Cure combined with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. They’ve somehow managed to one-up that disc with the stunning new Life Like – impeccably crafted, it’s even more seductive and atmospheric than its predecessor; still lyrically obsessed with trouble and strife, yet packed with plenty of sweet melodies. With No Kids, The Kindness Kind. Tractor Tavern, 5213 Ballard Ave. N.W., 789-3599. 9 p.m., $10. Listen to Blue Bird.

Brothers and Sisters, Dead Confederate and Iced Earth made the list too. Check out briefs and photos for our recommended shows for November 19 through November 25.
