The Recital, a four-piece indie rock band based in Ann-Arbor, Michigan, played in and around the Detroit area for roughly ten years before calling it quits late last year. The Succulent Leftovers is their final EP, which is released to coincide with their final show.

The EP was recorded in bassist Adam Kempa’s basement and consists of all of the left over songs that The Recital accumulated over the years (as the release title suggests), as well as a few new songs.

“Drop Those Legs,” a relatively new track, was written toward the end of their most active days (2005-2006), and was recorded and released as a demo. Later on, the band wanted to go back and make changes to the mix, however the original session files turned out to be corrupt (I guess we’ll never know how it would have sounded with the different mix).

“Does Your Music Listen to You” was written and recorded specifically for The Succulent Lovers and has never been performed live.

Though it may be sad that The Recital will be ending its decade-long life, the local indie band will always be remembered.
