9/20 pairs the low fi indie rock aesthetic Cy Twombly with the blissful gazey sounds of Ports of Call. Ports of Call’s most recent record, Fractals, has been on regular rotation during Jonathan Mono’s Sunday Late-Night DJ sets since it came out. Both bands are pretty amazing, and seriously, what else are you doing on Tuesday?
