Lots of bands can’t do anything more than bash away, even when they try to ease up and slow down, but Kingsbury Manx has always been about the glide. The group’s fifth full-length “Bronze Age” (Odessa Records) is another stellar collection that works the glide to perfection, moving at its customary pace of stately groove with hooks and textures and vocal harmonies all coalescing into lovely mood music for a stroll through the woods. Kingsbury Manx has never sounded better, and the band will show off “Bronze Age” Saturday at Nightlight in Chapel Hill. Doors open and 9 p.m. and Toddlers are also on the bill. Cover is $5. See nightlightclub.tumblr.com for details.
