If you’re the kind of person who melts a little inside when hearing a buncha boys harmonize, then you might want to listen to “No Wrong” in private.

The cut is a precious and hazy highlight from Speak Easy’s self-produced sophomore LP, Bloom!, which is rife with indie-pop songs that are a little bit tropical (“Cecilia”) and kinda ready for the radio, too (“Darkened Moon,” “Desert Rose”). The band celebrates the release at this Sage Hen show where donations will be collected at the door.

Speak Easy Album Release w/Grand Lotus/Youth Antics/Taverns/Tres and Friends. Sat., Aug. 10, 5 p.m. Suggested $5 donation. The Sage Hen, St. Petersburg. INFO.
