Tongues In Trees, "Meri Bhavana"

GIG: Monday night at Nublu ($10)

Indie dream pop and Indian rhythms collide in the band Tongues In Trees. The group includes members of the Brooklyn bhangra dance outfit Red Baraat and alt-classical group itsnotyouitsme, so the sound is equal parts Sonic Youth and Sufi trance. Though the song "Meri Bhavana" is the group at its quietest and most contemplative. Catch Tongues In Trees at Nublu tonight.

BONUS: Check out the rhythmic chops on the band's co-founder and drummer, Sunny Jain:
