E — Complications (Silver Rocket)

Complications by E

“Contagion Model” rattles on ominously, Jason Sanford sputtering sharp, sci-fi verses about lab-generated pathogens against an agitated post-punk onslaught. “It’s contagious/spread it around,” he sings in the chorus, speaking metaphorically about the relentless assault of bad information. And yet, the song can’t help but resonant with our be-masked, “be frightened” present. E — the Boston underground all-star trio comprised of Thalia Zedek, Jason Sanford and Gavin McCarthy — probably didn’t anticipate releasing their third album during the middle of a pandemic. However, they were evidently thinking about sickness way before the rest of us, and, as a result, Complications is weirdly relevant to our newly constrained, newly dread-filled existence.

If you’re just catching up to E, here are the basics. Thalia Zedek formed the band in the mid-teens, seeking a more full-band experience than her solo work could provide. She enlisted Jason Sanford of Neptunes (where he is known for making eccentrically constructed guitars and other non-standard instruments) and Gavin McCarthy. Gavin McCarthy has since joined the Thalia Zedek band, and if you caught them within the last couple of years, you might have noticed that he’s pushed that band into louder, more abrasive punk territory. Not that it was exactly pop before, but it’s tougher now. In 2016, I called the debut, “a fascinating conglomeration of contradictory energies and impulses from three individuals who have been their eccentric selves long enough to be comfortable, if not in opposition, at least in disjunctive, challenging relationship to one another.“ Bryan Daly reviewed the follow-up in 2018, saying, “Negative Work overflows with ideas and riffs, and a willingness to experiment typifies these ten songs.”

It's never been hard to differentiate E from Zedek’s other work; the imprint of her two band mates, particularly Sanford, is strong and noticeable. This latest entry in the E canon continues that trend. Where Zedek tends toward a dense, heavy, power-surging drama, Sanford has a lighter, nervier touch. His songs jitter and stutter and clatter; Zedek’s roar and moan. You feel his antic sensibility in “Miasma.” “Sunrise,” which comes next, uncorks Zedek’s existential howl. McCarthy’s drumming works explosively throughout, delicately syncopated in Sanford-led “Gelding,” rupturingly, rapturously powerful in Zedek’s “Caught.”

This third album from the trio feels surer and more integrated than the first two. It melds the players’ considerable energies in a whole that is starting to feel like more than any of them individually. The self-titled sometimes felt like a tug of war between differing sensibilities; this one pulls you relentlessly, fractiously, not in unison, but in the same direction.
