Philadelphia shoegaze band They Are Gutting a Body of Water heads to Orlando as part of their North American tour for fourth album Lotto. This formerly solo project of guitarist and producer Douglas Dulgarian has bloomed into a modern and collective resurgence of the shoegaze genre. Influenced by the Philly underground scene,

TAGABOW’s heavy and distorted spine forms the basis of a uniquely grunge-meets-glitchcore sound. With lyrical themes exploring the exploitative nature of the American dream, from the mundanity of grocery trips to the purchase of a lottery ticket, Lotto encapsulates the zoochosis that is late-stage capitalism.

Yet what undeniably sets this band apart is their live performances. Ditching the stage and opting for the center of the crowd, TAGABOW plays in a circle, facing each other, barely discernible from the bodies around them.

7 p.m. Friday, April 10, Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $20.
