I always have trouble warming up to bands who spell their names funny in order to improve SEO. There’s a picture of a pear on the cover of Peaer’s new seven-track EP, and their Bandcamp page has a helpful pronunciation guide – “(pair), (pa-yer)”. Okay? Peter Katz’s low-key indie is more accessible here than on his previous album, 2014’s all-lowercase the eyes sink into the skull. Three-minute opener “Pink Spit” starts with a quiet piano theme before launching into a droning college rock song that’s somehow only slightly livelier than what came before. Also playing: Beverly Tender, Food Court, edgar clinks.
