Between calling themselves Foxygen and titling their first full-length album “We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic,” the young duo of Jonathan Rado and Sam France certainly gave themselves plenty to live up to. Darned if they don’t pull it off, too, with a low-fi tour de force that effortlessly scavenges the classic-rock playbook for riffs and vibes in a very impressive package. Foxygen plays at 8 p.m. Sunday at Chapel Hill’s Local 506 and tickets are $8-$10. See local506.com for details.
