How's this for a few degrees of random separation? Luna frontman Dean Wareham has appeared in two movies with Sacramento actress Greta Gerwig, including this year's Mistress America, in which he played an asshole neighbor. OK, enough trivia. Here are the important deets: Luna, which formed in 1991 from the ashes of Galaxie 500, has finally emerged from its decade-plus hiatus. The quartet, which includes Wareham's wife's, bassist Britta Phillips, still makes chill, intellectual indie pop with enough interesting musical flourishes. 2708 J Street, https://luna.bandcamp.com.
