Portland’s Marion Grace to play Belfast on Saturday

The band spent most of last year writing and recording, and “Lying Down Looking Up” was released last March. The album recalls the hyperintelligent jangle of R.E.M., the lonely country rock of Wilco, the emotionality of Bright Eyes and the spaghetti Western vibe of Calexico. The interlocking guitar work of “Tired” opens the album, followed by such highlights as the reverb-y “2 Car Garage” and “Heart Attack,” which highlights Graceffa’s excellent songwriting.
