Preview: Lo-Fang at Doug Fir Lounge in Portland on May 7

Los Angeles-based musician Matthew Hemerlein, aka Lo-Fang, might be classically trained but that surely doesn't make his music so high-minded as to be boring. On the contrary, his debut album, 'Blue Film,' - on the legendary 4AD Records, no less! - is a beautiful bit of 21st century baroque pop. All it takes is about thirty seconds of the full group's appearance on the 'Late Show' to show your ears all the simple, old fashioned ways you can still make a joyful noise. Are those skateboard wheels? Go to the Doug Fir and give those wheels a spin...
