THE SILVER MT. ZION MEMORIAL ORCHESTRA & TRA LA LA BAND
Born Into Trouble As The Sparks Fly Upward.
2004 Canada 2x10” Repress @ 33rpm

Last spin of the night.
Wanted something somber, yet sweeping and cinematic.

Love me my #postrock , or whatever the kids are calling it.
These guys, Godspeed, Mogwai, EITS; you name it, I love it.

This has long been a favorite, and it was the first SMZ recording I heard. Comfort music to end a long day.

One of my favorite musicians and humans, violinist #JessicaMoss (of #SilverMtZion, #OiseauxTempete, etc.), has put up a 42-minute live performance as a name-your-price, with all proceeds going to UNRWA. Check it out for #BandcampFriday, along with her other solo work (I highly recommend her 2021 album, Phosphenes).

How the hell did I not know this offshoot of #GodspeedYouBlackEmperor and #SilverMtZion (with many Turkish guest musicians) existed?! It's absolutely fantastic, great find from #1001OtherAlbums.

I managed to miss GYBE. If they played Glasgow I was in Edinburgh. If they played Edinburgh I was in Glasgow. But Silver Mt. Zion I caught. Looking it up, the first time was Jan 2001, King Tuts. A small packed venue. A great gig. I've seen them another handful of times since, love them. When I did catch GYBE at the QM I was a little bored, found them repetitive. Though I've seen them better since. He Has Left Us Alone...
