Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rob Laufer is set to perform music from his upcoming self-released fourth disc Excruciating Bliss (out April 6) at the Silverlake Lounge on Wednesday, February 24. The album features an expansive mix of stream-of-consciousness psychedelia, compulsive pop and intimate, melodic musings. It was written, sung, played, recorded and mixed by Rob and sees his expansive career meld together beautifully.
