Pinback has set a tentative 2012 release date for its next record, making it five itchy years between full-length fixes for devotees of the San Diego band. But a Record Store Day 7-inch—Information Received Pt. A—suggests songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Zach Smith IV and Rob Crow still put together meticulous songs notable for their cumulative power: staccato guitar lines that iterate like lengthy equations; multitracked vocals and keys that overlap like colored threads on a melody loom; loping beats that gather into cantering tempos; and narrative fare just sinister enough to cast shadows over this landscape of endless summers. Judgment Day opens the 9:15 p.m. show. —John Schacht
