[ROCK] The fifth disc from California’s Ceremony, The L-Shaped Man (Matador Records), just dropped in May and it’s a heavy affair. Focused on a recent breakup endured by frontman Ross Farrar, the collection employs a minimal musical approach that’s much less high-energy-hardcore and more bare-bones intensity—a conscious choice to mimic the loss inherent in the menacing, pain-drenched narratives. The band is joined Sunday, July 5 at Mohawk Place by Ann Arbor shoegazers Pity Sex and Tony Molina.
