Come Worry With Us!
Violinist Jessica Moss and singer/guitarist Efrim Menuck are struggling to balance parenthood with making music in their internationally acclaimed Montreal-based band Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra. They are part of a growing number of bands to have accepted an infant into their touring life. Making a living has never been more difficult for musicians: a downloading generation has shattered the economics of the music industry, and constant touring has become synonymous with economic survival. Will they be able to harmoniously combine family life with crossing continents to deliver politically engaged post-rock music to audiences around the world?

In Come Worry With Us!, Helene Klodawsky is granted rare access to the daily life of an independent music group. She dives into both the intimate setting of the Mile End apartment shared by Menuck and Moss and their endearing toddler, Ezra, as well as the tour bus of the quintet. Her film echoes Low in Europe (Sebastian Schrade, 2004), which followed the American trio Low on the road across the Old Continent, accompanied by the couple’s young daughter.
Since politics is at the heart of Thee Silver Mt. Zion’s creative vision — as it is for the legendary band Godspeed You! Black Emperor, of which Menuck is a founding member — Klodawsky’s film not only tackles the question of parenthood and the traditional roles associated with it, but also skillfully detours through the 2012 Quebec student uprising. In these anxiety-ridden times, what better than the fierce independence of these musicians to rekindle our desire to keep up the fight?
