We’re less than eight short years away from the 100th anniversary of the Boston Molasses Disaster of 1919, which killed 21 lead-footed North Enders on a cold January day. Aside from the inevitable internet memes and tributes in store for the syrupy centennial, we’re going to need a warm, sticky soundtrack. Enter Somerville’s Hot Molasses, an aural five-person energy boost who take their name from the great molasses flood and spin spiky keyboard power-pop — sugary, harmonious spoonfuls somewhere between New Pornographers and Talking Heads.
