Trudging through an empty street, one starts noticing things that might not have appeared during a time when a crowd of bodies flood the sidewalks. Unknown lamp posts, billboards, open fields, and dead animals appear where one’s eyes previously glide past these transitory landmarks. The Sterling Sister’s soundtrack inspired by Jim Jarmusch’s 1989 film Mystery Train appears as a devoted voyage through a town once plagued by memories of lost loves, shaken faiths, and awakened memories. This five song EP stands at the end of the series as being one of the more emotionally raw and allegorical of the various soundtracks presented.
