What the hell just happened? Where did he go? Where did that fire come from? Did she just get cut in half?! This show tries to embrace all the non-kid friendly elements of magic acts with a production they promise will have you saying, “what the *insert your profanity of choice, because there’s no kids around anyway*!” Your mind will be blown, and your stomach muscles will be sore from all the laughter. 8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25.

As the name suggests, the new release Precarious Time was written during great changes for the members of Tucson rock band Infinite Beauties, or, more accurately, Doxy Lamine. Consisting of two of the three members of Infinite Beauties, Doxy Lamine recorded Precarious Time with Matt Rendon of Midtown Island Studios and Jim Waters of Waterworks Recordings.

“The process and inspiration for writing was often inspired by what was in front of me or within my surroundings, such as books, television and relationships,” said writer and singer Adam Lopez. “Then I would edit and squeeze words in where it would be appropriate. The finished product sounded and felt like a separate entity than what we had before, so I used a pseudonym ‘Doxy Lamine’ which I have used in the past and it felt appropriate for this project.” 

Precarious Time’s most obvious difference from Infinite Beauties’ album Get Up Morning is an embrace of pop music in multiple ways. Whereas Get Up Morning is a spacious and occasionally sparse fusion of folk and rock, nearly every song on Precarious Time features multiple vocal layers – both male and female – and stronger melodies. The songs are less meandering than their predecessors, and even leave room for flute flourishes and catchier hooks.

Precarious Time also makes room for emotional diversity. While Get Up Morning focuses on human struggles, such as the songs "Tower of Life According to AL" and "Into Denali," the latter of which mentions Into The Wild subject Chris McCandless, Precarious Time jumps from humor in "Western Doctor" to hope in "Just A Dream" to philosophical conundrums in “You Belong To God."

While each release features impressionistic lyrics celebrating both nature and humanity, the accessible song structures of Precarious Time lend themselves to easier understanding. Simply put, Precarious Time is a lush EP that improves on a few of the weaknesses found in Get Up Morning. From jangly guitar lines to doo-wop-inspired vocal melodies, Precarious Time is an uplifting collection of songs about an uncertain world.

Los Angeles based multilingual chanteuse Jessica Fichot is bringing her blend of French chanson, 1940s Shanghai jazz, international folk and gypsy swing back to the Old Pueblo on Tuesday, February 25 at the Green Valley Recreation Center. 

TW’s music desk caught up with the songwriter over the weekend to discuss her intoxicating multilingual style, new projects for 2020 and her plans to check out the Titan Missile Museum while in town.

TW How did you get started in music and what would you say was your first inspiration to pursue it?

JF I don’t actually remember a time when I didn’t know I wanted to be a musician. Despite coming from a family of engineers, my family was always very supportive of my aspirations. So I never really explored other career options - although I have and continue to pursue very different projects in my music career, from performing with my band to writing educational songs and composing music for video games. I think I got started in music from my love of singing, though. Singing has always been a joyful experience for me.

TW Are you fluent in all the languages you sing in?

JF I am bilingual in French and English, have an intermediate level in Spanish (though I speak it with a French accent), and continue to be a beginner in Mandarin Chinese (it’s a hard language that I unfortunately did not learn as a child, though my mother speaks it fluently.) For all other languages, I learn to sing the songs phonetically. I think there is a beauty in different languages that goes beyond the meaning of the words: each language has its own sound and feeling.

TW Does being a multilingual artist help you incorporate various styles of music into your repertoire? 

JF By singing in different languages, I naturally incorporate different styles in the music I perform. French “chanson” is my focus, but I also get to explore various styles such as jazz from Shanghai, Russian polkas, gypsy swing and Mexican ballads. But honestly, the more languages I incorporate in my sets, the more I realize how similar these different styles of music from around the world can be. Musicians have influenced and inspired each other across borders.

TW Have you been to Southern Arizona before? If so, what did you think? If not, what do you plan on doing while here?

JF I have actually been to Southern Arizona many times, as my band has made Tucson a regular stop on our tours for the last few years. We have performed at Hotel Congress (as part of the Rhythm & Roots series), Solar Culture, Monterey Court, and we performed in Green Valley last year. I love the Tucson nightlife (and was surprised to see how late people would start going out in downtown Tucson.) Since we are performing in Green Valley on this tour, we may go and visit the Titan Missile Museum.

TW What is next for you? Any new projects?

JF I am working on a new album, and like my last three albums, it’s taking a lot longer than I’d hoped... But I’m very proud of the new songs I have written so far, and my guitarist Adrien Prevost, who is producing this album, is doing a great job at giving these songs a distinctive sound.

TW Who are you must influenced by, musically?

JF I have many musical influences, of course, but if I had to choose one, I would say Quebecois/Mexican singer/songwriter Lhasa de Sela. Her music is timeless and beautiful, and more than anyone else she inspired me to write and sing in different languages.

The show is from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, February 25 at the Green Valley Recreation West Social Center, located at 1111 S GVR Dr, Green Valley.

Tickets are $31 for the general public, $23 for GVR members and $26 for GVR guests. For more information visit, www.gvrec.org/activities/arts-and-entertainment/concerts

Killer of Sheep. Regarded as a masterpiece of independent cinema, this 1978 drama was edited, shot, written, produced and directed by Charles Burnett and submitted as his Master of Fine Arts thesis. Without a traditional plot or character arcs, Killer of Sheep remains a highlight of the “L.A. Rebellion” film movement, wherein several young, black filmmakers at UCLA depicted racial and social problems with inspiration from European arthouse cinema. This showing at The Screening Room is the final night of their Black Renaissance Film Series. 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 24. 127 E. Congress St. $7.

Many of activist/rhymesayer Brother Ali's lyrics cry out against racial inequality and slavery, criticizing the United States' political system. "I started beatboxing when I was 7," he told Huck magazine. "Eventually, that led to me falling in love with the words."
