Empress Of + Salt Cathedral

On her 2015 debut, Me, Empress Of mastermind Lorely Rodriguez looked inward with a self-produced collection of R&B-tinged electro-pop anthems. Her latest album, Us, finds the Los Angeles singer-songwriter working with the likes of Blood Orange frontman Dev Hynes and hip-hop production duo DJDS, exploring the floating beats and dreamy synths of contemporary pop music. In concert, Rodriquez is a whirlwind of infectious energy who dances to beat whenever she's not behind her keyboards and samplers. New York synth-pop duo Slat Cathedral opens the show.
