(Tukwila, $5/$8)

The Knast Record Release Show
Garage-/psych-rock revivalism will never die. And that’s a good thing, as long as we have acolytes as dedicated and endowed with deep knowledge of the form as Seattle quartet the Knast. If a band can conjure the genres’ requisite hooks, dynamics, and ingeniously distorted guitar tones, they can excel at this game, no matter what year it happens to be. The Knast’s Reckless Soul album—for which this show acts as a release party—cruises with well-oiled precision over 10 songs that all contend for claiming foremost dominance in your mind. No, Reckless Soul doesn’t innovate, but it does capture a vibe worth cherishing, and does it with absolute panache—especially “Time Out of Mind.” DAVE SEGAL

It seems like best-selling genre author J.A. Jance, who splits her time between Seattle and Arizona, is always releasing a new book—and her list of published works supports that (she's currently working on three different series, two of which have well over a dozen installments). This time, she's celebrating the publication of Proof of Life, the latest in her J.P. Beaumont series.
(Lake Forest Park, free)

Rowan Buchanan Hisayo: Harmless Like You
Rowan Buchanan Hisayo's debut novel Harmless Like You is about '60s and '70s New York City, cross-cultural identity, global movement, inherited trauma, and gender—but centrally, it seems to focus on ideas of art and meaning. The protagonist of Harmless Like You is grappling with the decision to "become an artist," and all the interconnecting identity themes expressed in the book interact with and develop her ideas about creation and self-worth. Namara Smith at the New York Times describes Hisayo's writing as "lyrical and evocative, if occasionally overdone."

(Georgetown, free)

Chris Engman and Dan Webb
Greg Kucera is the gold standard for established Seattle galleries, and Chris Engman and Dan Webb are two of the most sophisticated artists currently working in the Pacific Northwest. Engman takes photographs that combine built environments with landscapes in ways that dare you to figure out how they were created. These spaces are illusory yet functional; mysterious yet matter-of-fact. Webb is a master woodcarver who creates figures so real they might seem to leap out of the block, if they weren't also tethered by forces outside their control. Together, these artists marry natural environments and forms with artifice in a way that transcends both. EMILY POTHAST
(Pioneer Square, free)

(Everett, free)
This exhibit closes Saturday.

Leiko Ikemura and Alwyn O'Brien
In 2012, Jen Graves wrote, "Alwyn O’Brien’s ceramics are the smartest to come out of the UW’s great program in the last few years, and the sexiest, too. They’re like patches of weeds embedded with video feeds. In that tangle of porcelain you might find a mysterious photograph of a blindfolded crowd in a meadow, say. All you know for sure is that you will follow these curving transports." See pieces by O'Brien alongside a variety of haunting, shadowy, and symbolic works (including paintings and ceramics) by Leiko Ikemura.
(Downtown, free)

Markel Uriu: Detritus

(Downtown, free)

Sofie Knijff
Based in Amsterdam, Dutch-Belgian photographer Sofie Knijff mixes documentary techniques with staged settings and costumes to create dreamlike images in which the real and fictional become difficult to distinguish. Drawing on her background as a theatrical peformer, Knijff crafts dramatized simulacra that reveal unseen truths behind what is seen—realities that can be felt or intuited are illustrated as though they are real. This fascination with identity, performance, and theatricality suggests questions as to the ultimate nature of self. Who are we, and how did we become that way? What aspects of identity are a mask, and what is the truth behind them? EMILY POTHAST
(Pioneer Square, free)

Urban
Photographers James Arzente, Susan Gans, M R McDonald, Janet Neuhauser and David Sokal explore their idea of "urban" through both film and digital photographs.

It's a playful installation that toys with themes of expectation and disappointment as it simultaneously delights and confounds. EMILY POTHAST
(University District, $10)
This exhibition closes Sunday.

Nola Avienne: Sleep Study
By day, Nola Avienne works as a phlebotomist—the technician who draws your blood at the doctor's office. She's also a scientifically-minded artist whose work has incorporated, among other things, expertly handled blood. For her new show at SOIL artist-run gallery, Avienne translates MRI images of her own brain into large-scale watercolors and magnetic sculptures inspired by the science of sleep. In choosing the mapping of the unconscious mind as subject matter, Avienne reveals a paradox: what is the true nature of the hidden places we visit in dream states? Rather than attempt an answer, Avienne uses these maps to aestheticize the experience of interior worlds. EMILY POTHAST
(Pioneer Square, free)

The Not-Its
When I was a kid, the Not-Its!'s Danny Adamson played in a punk band for young adults called Wafflestomper (it was the '90s). Now I'm an adult, and Adamson is a dad, and he plays in a punk band for kids. And not "kids" in the all-ages/DIY/hardcore vernacular, either, but actual snot-nosed, grubby-faced, pants-pooping, crying-for-their-mommies children. Why anyone would jump out of the frying pan of playing for moshing alterna-teens and into the fire of performing for toddlers is beyond me, but clearly the Not-Its! are made of tougher stuff than I. (Also, you can misspell their name as "the No Tits," an equally appropriate message for the little ones.) ERIC GRANDY

(Tukwila, $7)

Sloucher, The Screaming Multitudes, Serving, Salt Lick
One of the great pleasures of this massively pleasure-deprived year has been the discovery that Sloucher’s Certainty EP was more than just a promising debut. It has turned out to be one of the richest listening experiences available from any rock band this year, local or otherwise, and the band’s live performances bring the songs to an even deeper, more vivid life. Whatever they do next will merit close attention. The same is true of all the bands on this bill, in fact. The world may be a rusted-out truck hurtling down a 90-percent grade with four flat tires and its engine ablaze, but the Northwest is still good at melodic guitar bands, and I take hope where I can find it.
