Tomorrow night at Off Broadway, local fave Centro-matic will be returning to town for a gig with fellow Texans Monahans and locals Theodore opening. We've written about C-M a ton, so Monahans received the critpick treatment this time: So says Shae Moseley:

Its 2007 debut album, Low Pining, was a moody, atmospheric take on rootsy Americana, an album whose lonely soundscapes painted rust-colored pictures of desolate southwestern highways at dusk. Although this year's Dim the Aurora finds Monahans retaining Pining's sprawling ethereal beauty, the LP also features moments of urgent, driving pop -- a sound that draws as much from I.R.S.-era R.E.M. as it does from the brooding emotion of Nick Cave.
