Psych-pop agitators White Arrows have toured their kaleidoscopic duds off since releasing “Dry Land Is Not a Myth” in 2012. The debut couched various existential crises in danceable electro-rock and reverb, and perhaps still unsure whether they are “Coming or Going,” the L.A. quintet has embarked on making “In Bardo,” the follow-up album that is due this fall. “Bardo,” Google tells us, is a Tibetan word meaning “intermediate state,” and indeed frontman Mickey Church and gang acknowledge that, as much as it can, “In Bardo” will represent a snapshot of their evolution. With that, the band has released a teaser song prior to its big tour with the Neighbourhood; the alternately fuzzy and shimmering “Leave It Alone” sounds like there still might be some neurosis in White Arrows’ bardo.
