One can’t go anywhere these days without being inundated with back-to-basics indie pop, a new class of pared-down duos or trios playing straightforward songs that are all jangly guitars and bright harmonies. The spirit seems to invoke both eras of legendary producer Phil Spector: The deceptive simplicity of his girl-group golden age, and his current unhinged shagginess. Roanoke, Va.’s Eternal Summers are certainly not the first to inhabit this duality; others like Best Coast and Vivian Girls have already beaten them to the punch. Yet on the last year’s debut album Silver, Eternal Summers offer enough flourishes in their two-minute ditties to achieve a distinct personality. The best songs, like “Worlds Away” and “Eternal,” are both lovely and woeful, as singer Nicole Yun transforms the melodies into achingly sweet confections with her melancholy echo.

ETERNAL SUMMERS PERFORMS WITH APACHE BEAT AT 8:30 P.M. AT RED PALACE, 1210 H ST. NE. $10. (202) 399-3201.
