Uh-oh. World music from Columbia grads? Wait, wait, come back – Vampire Weekend’s sound works on many levels. The quartet of word nerds (“Oxford Comma,†“Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassaâ€) winds through afro-beat and dubby punk, infusing it with melody and punch without coming off like khaki-clad clones. Their most recent EP only adds to the list of this year’s uncategorizable-yet-infectious albums. Til We’re Blue or Destroy headline, and Aster opens. – Audra Schroeder

Firing his London bandmates for April’s sophomore disc Nux Vomica (Rough Trade), Finn Andrews amps up the emotional angst tenfold from 2004 debut The Runaway Found. Raw-edged vocals verging on early Bright Eyes hysterics and/or Rufus Wainwright theatrics (“Jesus for the Jugularâ€) dial up Andrews as a piano-driven drama queen whose emotional crescendo finally lands a non-South by Southwest showcase at Stubb’s downstairs sanitarium. BYOT: Bring your own turmoil. – Raoul Hernandez
