Take a break from harrowing five-year Iraq war retrospectives and political sex scandals to see the lovely Johanna Kunin and DC's These United States at the Sunset tonight! The first time we went to see Johanna Kunin, we left practically purring with satisfaction. We expect tonight to be no different.

Kunin uses dreamy, hypnotic loops and mind-buzzingly beautiful harmonies to lull you into your happy place. These United States' songs are layered and intricate, with lyrics and musical twists that nestle themselves in your gut and twist just enough to remind you how achingly glorious it is to be alive and listening to music.
