Don't even know if they still exist actually, with both Efrim and Jessica having solo albums out and touring for them

Shit, yeah. A Silver Mt. Zion (or “THEE Silver Mt. Zion” or just “Silver Mt. Zion” or whatever they were when they left off) used to be one of my top 10 favorite bands.

I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t thought about them much in the last couple years, but you’re right: “Fuck off, Get Free...” was really something — and, frankly, a step up from “Kollaps Tradixionales” and a MAJOR improvement over “13 Blues for 13 Moons.”

It demanded more of my attention and playtime than any of the last three GY!BE albums.

I have no idea what they’re up to as a group now, if anything, but I’d love to see them circle back to the electronic atmospherics and genre-splitting sound of what I believe are their stringest releases — the “Pretty Little Lightning Paw” and “This is Our Punk Rock...” EPs. *Man* that was some unearthly good shit.

I’d say “Microphones in the Trees” is like a hypercondensed improvement on everything Radiohead was trying to do at the time, and “More Action! Less Tears!” is as anthemic as any Godspeed track.

Miss that iteration of that particular assortment of that larger collective of Canadian post-rockers.
