HBO’s The Leftovers has polarized both viewers and critics with an unflinching look at the impact of loss on a small community. The main supernatural factor of the series relates to the critical event of the Sudden Departure – similar to the Christian concept of The Rapture.
In ten episodes, the series delved into the response of the town folk of Mapleton, New York, the individuals most affected and the social phenomenon that developed to make sense of it all, specifically The Guilty Remnant, a cult group whose main purpose is to ensure that the Sudden Departure is never forgotten.
Hailing from Staten Island, New York, this indie rock quartet has three LPs to its name, the latest one – LOSE – having just been recently released on Barsuk Records. The album is a melange of tge finest pop and rock influences and nuances, with a premium placed on emotionally resonance. It’s feisty rock n roll in the sense that lead guitar solos are unashamedly thrown about without bothering whether it’s uncool or not. There is an authentic rockist vigor about the manner in which the band dives into high energy numbers like “Jackson”, “Warning” and “XR” that reference Television and Uncle Tupelo simultaneously. The rest of LOSE slows down somewhat without sacrificing power but with a greater attention to melody – the folky “Child Bride” and the dynamic “Laramie”, prime examples. Highly recommended!
Am hoping to catch Cymbals Eat Guitars open for the legendary Bob Mould in Seattle on 23rd September. Join me if you’re in the area. Buy tickets.
