Some of us deal with heartbreak differently than others. On Know Better Learn Faster, the second release from Thao with the Get Down Stay Down, Thao Nguyen responds with a mixture of indignation and joy, but oddly, mostly joy (or at least the kind of release that resembles it). "Sad people dance, too," she says right before the album's almost club-ready closer, "Easy." Sad or happy, chances are you'll be doing the same tonight at the Doug Fir, where David Schultz and the gentlemen of Portland's own Weinland open.

Check the new video for Thao's "When We Swam" below, where heartbreak becomes beach party.
