Flashbulb Fires, Denver’s best indie-pop band, at Crosstown Station tonight

Flashbulb Fires‘ swirling, atmospheric sound fits somewhere between introspective piano rock and Radiohead copycat. The Denver band — who Westword readers recently named the best indie-pop band — claims a lush catalog that makes for dreamy listening, as long as you don’t get caught up in the incisive, sharp-tongued lyrics. We could see that band you like / Even though I heard those guys are dicks, Patrick McGuire sings over lilting acoustic strums and shimmering electric guitar.
