Here’s the latest installment of our new video series, where we ask local musicians to come to our studio to perform three songs, acoustically (although our version of acoustic is a little loose, basically meaning no electric guitars). This time, it’s Phourist and the Photons, whose usually keys-heavy, dynamic, experimental rock is stripped down here to just acoustic guitar and drums — and their buildups still hit with the same force.

The first season of this series will run eight weeks, with a new video released every Friday in January and February.
