Of the local Votolato brothers, Rocky went folk and took a solo gig with Barsuk. Sonny went pop. With his band Slender Means, Sonny’s putting out the sparkliest stuff the city has to offer, with equal parts aggression reminiscent of the early-2000s “The” bands blitz, and the tight-fitting indie rock that’s yet to subside. With Constant Lovers, Navigator vs. Navigator. CHRIS KORNELIS
