Near as I can tell from what little music is available of Coma Figura, one might describe them as a sort of Foxygen or Titus Andronicus for the bedroom pop set. These are bands that mash together influences and jumble them up into something that surges past imitation and into a kind of fervent homage. Whereas Foxygen and Titus Andronicus reinterpret pastoral psych rock and boozy Springsteen-isms, respectively, Coma Figura take stabs at the idiosyncratic singer-songwriter. "The Resume Life" backs into Jonathan Richman territory, while "What It Is," with its crowded verbiage and '70s soft rock oohs, sounds like the subverted pop of '90s fixtures such as Michael Penn, Jon Brion and Jellyfish. With one EP released and another on the way, I've yet to really figure out what Coma Figura are all about.

COMA FIGURA, w/ BA the Scribe, FLORIDA, Mad Youth, 9 p.m., The New Frontier Lounge, 301 E. 25th St., Tacoma, $5, 253.572.4020
