The celebratory intent behind Come’s show Thursday at the Sinclair did not cool the music’s simmering dread.
As a reminder of the original (and lasting) impact of Come’s post-punk narcotic blues, Matador Records recently reissued “Eleven: Eleven,” the 1993 debut from the Boston band formed by Thalia Zedek, Chris Brokaw, Sean O’Brien, and Arthur Johnson.
The original Come quartet reconvened for a short tour that focuses on material from that dark beauty of a debut as well as earlier singles and the follow-up, “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” after which bassist O’Brien and drummer Johnson left the band.
Come’s original line-up has not played too often in recent years, yet looked and sounded comfortable on the Sinclair stage. Full story for BostonGlobe.com subscribers.
