Some of the most obscure vinyl in my collection (Silver Mt. Zion)

Silver mt. Zion is an experimental project spearheaded by Efrim Menuck of the band “Godspeed you! Black emperor” Half heavy post-rock, and half ambient, the band had a very unique sound. All three of these albums are very solid listens, maybe not the sort of thing you’ll listen to daily, but when it hits, IT HITS. Many of SMZ’s later songs are filled with beautiful orchestral passages and solid guitar riffs, accompanied by heavy hitting lyrics. The early sound of SMZ is much different however, preferring a more ambient approach, though both sounds are quite strikingly different, they contrast each other in a very beautiful and deeply profound way. A very solid band in my eyes, and a worthy addition to any collection.
