Pop and Rock Listings for Oct. 21-27

? Caithlin de Marrais and Alina Simone (Friday) Ms. De Marrais, the former lead singer of the breezy indie-rockers Rainer Maria, offers sparse, elegiac pop in solo repose. Ms. Simone’s fascination with her Soviet ancestry has lent itself to a set of darkly simmering folk covers of the young poet Yanka Dyagileva, “Everyone Is Crying Out to Me, Beware” (54°40’ Or Fight!), and a fine book of essays, “You Must Go and Win” (Faber & Faber). With the Shondes. Part of the CMJ Music Marathon. At 8:30 p.m., Littlefield, 622 Degraw Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues, Gowanus, Brooklyn, littlefieldnyc.com; $10. (Anderson)
