FRIDAY, SEPT. 4
Even if he’d only written cult pop hits like Solange’s “Losing You” and Sky Ferreira’s “Everything Is Embarrassing,” Devonté Hynes’ stature in the annals of pop history would be secure. But for more than a decade, the Brit has been releasing lush, uncommonly candid and emotional synth pop under the name Blood Orange. His latest album, 2025’s Essex Honey, puts his experiences of grief and loss under a microscope while extending a hand to anyone whose feelings are on edge at this historical moment. McMenamins Edgefield, 2126 SE Halsey St., Troutdale. 5 pm. $63–$76. 21+.
TUESDAY, SEPT. 8
Tame Impala has been a serious name in the pop market for a while now, with frontman Kevin Parker working on hits like Lady Gaga’s “Applause” and scoring the biggest hit of his life by teaming up with K-pop star Jennie on the remix of “Dracula,” a song from his rave-besotted fifth album, Deadbeat. But Parker’s roots are in psychedelia, with the band’s early works Innerspeaker and Lonerism counting among the great modern rock albums, so expect something as much like a Dark Side of the Moon light show as a pop concert. Moda Center, 1 Center Court St. 6 pm. $121+. All ages.
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 9
Initiated in 2016 by a Dutch record geek named Jasper Verhulst out of his fascination with the “Anatolian rock” made in Turkey in the 1970s, Altın Gün has found a following on both sides of the Atlantic—even among those who don’t speak a word of Turkish. You can thank the vinyl revival and reissue culture of the 2010s, which has fostered a generation of music listeners who don’t care what country their psychedelia comes from so long as it bubbles and contorts like wax in a lava lamp. Revolution Hall, 1300 SE Stark St. 8 pm. $46.95. All ages.
