In a world of hyper-talented young musicians, Back Door Slam plays truly impressive stuff, because it feels real. D'Haene, VinylD'Haene's new disc is spring-loaded with hard-locked rhythms, chunky guitar riffing, and metalized melodies sung with a bluesy, soulful inflection.

But for the Knitting Factorys last night in Manhattan, it was appropriate, as the shaggy avant-folk group Akron/Family led a version of that Scottish New Years hymn on Wednesday night that mutated from a simple singalong to screeching feedback to a meditative one-note drone.
