Think of TLC or Destiny’s Child and the ways their voices meld on songs like “Unpretty” or “Survivor.” A new entry into this subgenre is KING, a Los Angeles-based ensemble featuring twins Amber and Paris Strother and Anita Bias. Their dream pop-influenced compositions layer delicate vocals on top of silky, undulating waves of synths and moody, affecting lyrics. While the mood they create on certain songs might feel right in a tiny, underground club, the fact that they’re playing at the Birchmere means more listeners will be able to see the group dynamics up close.
