Lala Lala/Sen Morimoto

The Lamb, the latest effort from Lala Lala, the Chicago-based project of Lillie West, centers on some pretty serious stuff. West wrote the songs in the wake of a home invasion and of the death of loved ones. The band, which also features bassist Emily Kempf and drummer Ben Leach draws from post-punk and dream pop. The droning-yet-melodic album opener, “Destroyer,” features hushed vocals and “Water Over Sex” finds West adopting a falsetto as the song ventures into Cocteau Twins territory. Expect to hear plenty of songs from the album at tonight’s show. (Niesel)
