Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-La-La Band with Black Ox Orkestar

"Touching and beautiful."--THE WIRE Spearheaded by Efrim Menuck, Silver Mt. Zion is a spin-off from the radical Montreal collective godspeed you! black emperor. With this new configuration of musicians, Menuck adds a lyrical dimension, articulating his keenly wrought protest messages atop epic compositions that build to soaring and cathartic instrumental passages. Silver Mt. Zion targets the onslaught of globalization, corporate amorality, and absence of personal accountability in contemporary life while also promising a forward-thinking future through the dynamism and power of its music. Associated project Black Ox Orkestar opens.
