Atsuko Chiba with Dead Shakers, Blood

Montréal quintet Atsuko Chiba know how to create atmosphere. Fusing post-rock, psychedelia, ambient drone and Krautrock, the band has built a reputation for sprawling songs, full of shifting time signatures and grandiose dynamics. On their latest, 2023’s Water, It Feels Like It’s Growing, Atsuko Chiba lean even further into the experimental, adding elements of raga and minimalism to accentuate songs that show a growing political and environmental concern. They swing through Winooski on Tuesday, April 4, for a stop at the Monkey House, with local support from Dead Shakers and Blood.
