Eight Gigs: Life in 24 Frames

There is an inherent contradiction at the heart of local indie four-piece Life in 24 Frames. On one hand, the members describe their purpose as sharing the “honesty and purity” of their creation. Yet, if you hear any of them describe the concept driving the band, it’s the magic of film—that 24 still images create the illusion of movement in movies. There’s nothing wrong with these disparate thoughts. In fact, it explains how this band can sound so calculated with its production, and yet equally emotive. It’s kind of like watching a tearjerker of a movie that was carefully brought to life by skilled professionals. 1630 J Street, www.lifein24frames.com.
