Mazzy Star After three well-received albums, this ’90s cult band quietly parted and its two core members, Hope Sandoval and David Roback, went on to pursue other projects. Now reunited, the group’s latest, Seasons of Your Day, ends the 17-year gap in its discography, but its re-emergence does raise the question of relevance. Fortunately, the timing is good. The new-folk-saturated market—and the zeitgeist with it—has given way to more nuanced sounds, and the dream-pop groundwork laid by Mazzy Star’s three seminal albums (’90’s She Hangs Brightly, ’93’s So Tonight That I Might See, and ’96’s Among My Swan) has lately been reprised by bands like Beach House and Pure Bathing Culture. You couldn’t be faulted if you thought Seasons was produced by a new group breaking onto the scene; but in fact it’s this pair, now squarely middle-aged (he is 55, she is 46), that over two decades ago seamlessly fused psychedelic, drone-addled, Doors-esque anthems with a ’90s laissez-faire style, perfectly captured by Sandoval’s dreamy, languid vocals. On Seasons, the band resumes the vibe: Gentle acoustic strumming is fleshed out with noodly, bluesy electric guitar, walls of psychedelic reverb, hypnosis-inducing drums, and Sandoval’s still-youthful vocals. But with age comes wisdom; now things sound cleaner, tighter, and, yes, all the more seasoned. With The Entrance Band, Mariee Sioux. The Neptune. 8 p.m. $35. GWENDOLYN ELLIOTT

Sepultura Tonight this long-running Brazilian metal act will focus on songs from its 13th LP, the just-released The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart—which is the first to feature new drummer Eloy Casagrande, and which was produced by Ross Robinson, who last worked with the band on 1996’s Roots. With Unearth, Kataklysm, Scar the Martyr, Dark Sermon, Lesbian. Neumos. 6 p.m. $25 adv. DAVE LAKE
