Austin five-piece Voxtrot had its 15 minutes as indie-pop darlings in 2005-06, when back-to-back EPs and the charisma of frontman Ramesh Srivastava fueled blog buzz over its heart-on-sleeve, Brit-inspired music. Pitchfork numbers were high, and so were spirits, until Voxtrot's 2007 full-length, which was overthought if not overwrought. And as indie-pop audiences are wont to do, it was on to the next darling. Srivastava recently announced the band's demise in a long confessional in which he talks about Peter Falk and to Fran Healy and describes his band's career as “truly one of long, simmering build, explosion, and almost instantaneous decay.” The band's eight-date farewell tour, which hits the Echoplex tonight, won't have the feel of smelling a rotting corpse; think of it as one final time to catch a whiff of Voxtrot's fragrant songs.
