Korine are making up for lost time. The future icons from Philadelphia — who we’ve gushed over plenty across these digital pages — released their masterful sophomore album The Night We Raise back in September 2020, but the seemingly never-ending pandemic meant Trey Frye and Morgy Ramone could not immediately deliver their beautiful dark electronic-pop goods to the masses.
Luckily, we were treated to a handful of New England appearances late last year — including an Allston show with Small Black and headlining gigs in Providence and Cambridge — and now the duo are back on the road for another round through the eastern half of the United States. The 25-date itinerary wraps around a SXSW appearance, kicking off March 2 in Baltimore and wrapping April 2 in Rhode Island.
That closing gig is the closest Korine comes to Boston on this go-round, but it’s a good one. The Saturday night dance party at Focal, an all-inclusive art gallery and DIY collaborative space in Pawtucket, features Boston coldwave/post-punk luminaries True Faith and PVD-based italo-inspired synth-pop act Orion. Don’t sleep.
