Six-piece Waterstrider are a young band that began in a UC Berkeley co-op last year. Constellation is available for purchase above — where you can also grab the title track for free — and its swooning indie pop sounds a lot more thoughtful and mature than most self-released debut efforts. Waterstrider opens for Gardens & Villa and Young Man at Bottom of the Hill on Thursday night (9pm, $10).
