Entertainment:
Emancipator — Trip-hop goes gallivanting through the soundscape of the surreal, soaring along string arrangements and shimmering samples as the last remnants of chillwave and dub wash below on the rocky shores. Emancipator’s third full-length effort, “Dusk to Dawn,” bore down into the new year and parted the ominous clouds muting the electronic atmosphere. Official concert forecast: the only drops falling on your head will be of the aural variety. $15 in advance, $18 at door.
March 15, doors at 8:30 p.m., show at 9 p.m., the Catalyst, 21+
