NEW WHOLE USUALS
Composer Andrew Dolfie enjoys confounding observers and ignoring conventional wisdom regarding what constitutes “indie rock.” Besides having one of the more unusual and visually compelling publicity designs on a Web page, the New Whole Usuals have gotten plenty of pre-release buzz regarding its new CD Martin Moeh.
Word is that all hype aside, the band does have a fresh, engaging and original sound. A good way to find out whether this is true of not is to check out its CD release party Saturday at the Basement (9 p.m., 1606 Eighth Ave. S., $5, 254-8006) and go on its Web site at thenewwholeusuals.com and see if you don’t agree about the striking appeal of that design.
