Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Saxophonics

Combine swooning, soulful sax, plucky hand drumming and a swirl of ambient electronic loops, flowering vocal permutations and moody Moog runs and you’ve got ... well, you’ve got one heady but intimately soothing sonic stew known as Tapis Bleu. Celebrating the release of their debut CD, the Burlington-based experimental duo (Caroline O’Connor and Sean Altrui) bend time, space and minds this Friday at The Monkey House with a little help from local psych-rock auteurs The Cush and delightful Boston songwriter — and Queen City ex-pat —Audrey Ryan.
