British singer-songwriter Beth Orton's trademark sound dating to 1996's sterling debut Trailer Park blended acoustic folk with buzzing electronic textures in an often bewitching mix. With 2016's Kidsticks, however, Orton moved more into a pure electro sound, assisted by producer Andrew Hung of the band F- Buttons. Back in the 1990s, she also was a frequent collaborator with British big beat duo Chemical Brothers, and bros Tom Simons and Ed Rowland have just released "I Never Asked to be Your Mountain," a previously unreleased Tim Buckley cover they recorded with Orton in the 1990s. — Dan DeLuca

8 p.m. Friday at World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St. $25-$$37. 215-222-1400, worldcafelive.com.

The meeting of a one-time One Direction heartthrob and a cynical country crooner would seem like an exercise in oddity if it wasn't for the fact that each performer's newest works were meant to subvert their sound and image. On Musgraves' 2018 album, Golden Hour, she holds onto the Texan grit of her upbringing while adding disco beats ("High Horse") and an empathetic understanding of how emotionalism and existence ("Wonder Woman") intertwine. Styles' self-titled debut album of 2017 has allowed the other Brit-born-Harry to show off a more lovelorn lyrical side of his musical personality than we're used to hearing from him, while engaging in Bowie-like spaceman swoosh ("Sign of the Times"). — A.D. Amorosi

8 p.m. Friday, Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad Street, $29.50-$99.50, WellsFargoCenterPhilly.com

Stephen Malkmus might still best be known as "that Pavement guy" but the leader of the definitive 1990s indie rock band has by now been making records with his Portland, Ore. backing band the Jicks (whose members include Sleater-Kinney drummer Janet Weiss) for far longer now that Pavement existed. On the new Sparkle Hard, he's still in command of all his key attributes — a knack for memorable hooks that initially seem tossed off, the ability to let loose with extended ripping guitar solos, and the seemingly non-sequitorial lyrics that suddenly surprise with their occasional directness, as in "Bike Lane," which addresses authoritarianism and the 2015 Baltimore Police killing of African American man Freddie Gray. — D.D.

8 p.m. Saturday at the Theater of Living Arts, 322 South St. $22. 215-922-1011, tlaphilly.com.

In February, Paul Simon announced that he will retire from touring, after one last valedictory lap. Although these retirement plans don't always work out (just ask the Who), Simon's show at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday may be the last time to catch the now 76-year-old icon before he's homeward bound. Supplemented by the experimental chamber sextet yMusic, his large band is well-versed in American roots rock and the "world music" that his masterpiece Graceland helped define for American audiences. Simon likes to reinvent arrangements for his songs, and set lists have included a smattering of Simon & Garfunkel classics but emphasized his solo work, including 2016's Stranger to Stranger. — Steve Klinge

8 p.m. Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St. $49.50-$175. 215-336-3600, livenation.com.

Before morphing into the excellent Brooklyn indie-rock band Big Thief, Buck Meek and Adrianne Lenker released two EPs of loping acoustic folk as a duo. Those roots, and that rootsiness, infuse Meek's new solo album. Twangy fingerpicking and honky-tonk piano grace the more extroverted tracks, but the tone is mostly intimate, the slow-paced sound of late-night reveries, with fingers squeaking on guitar strings and Meek's soft, drawling vocals that show his Texas origins. It's a brief and skillful set. He's opening for Sam Evian, the project of Celestial Shore's Sam Owens, at Johnny Brenda's Saturday night. — Steve Klinge

9 p.m. Saturday at Johnny Brenda's, 1201 N. Frankford Ave. $12. 215-739-9684, johnnybrendas.com.

With each passing album, Montreal's electro dance-rock duo Chromeo have moved further into pure unfiltered funk and soul. Now, there is Head Over Heels, the pair's fifth LP, and the first to include such a wide array of R&B and hip-hop guests such as The-Dream, French Montana, Raphael Saadiq, Rodney Jerkins, and the legendary Jesse Johnson from The Time. Here's hoping Chromeo can bring that wide sound to the small stage. — A.D.A.

8 p.m. Tuesday, The Fillmore Philadelphia, 29 E. Allen Street, $33.50-$38.50, thefillmorephilly.com
