Above: It’s the Drew Lightfoot and Lee Gingold-directed video for “Long Night,” from the new Richard Swift-produced Guster album “Evermotion.” Guster visits the Wiltern on Thursday.

Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: French-Cuban twin sisters Ibeyi gave a rapturous performance at SXSW, and the self-titled debut from Lisa-Kaindé Diaz and Naomi Diaz came out in February on XL Recordings. Combining piano, voice and traditional instruments such as the cajon and bata drums with electronic and hip-hop influences, Ibeyi’s music is heavenly in any language. They play the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Tuesday.

@Seraphina_L recommends: Guitar goddess Kaki King’s new album is titled  “The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body,” and the fan-funded affair is getting a visually striking presentation on her current tour. The stage show features a glowing guitar — no, really, check it out — and projections by Glowing Pictures. King performs at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Saturday.
