THEE SILVER MOUNTAIN REVERIES
THE PRETTY LITTLE LIGHTNING PAW EP (CONSTELLATION)
Originally available (on CD only) at shows during The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-La-La Band European tour in Winter 2004, this record was officially released on both formats a few months later.
The EP contains all new songs, with a total running time of just over 30 minutes. What began as studio sketches evolved, through a few intensive drunken nights, into a beautiful, unfettered set of tunes that confirmed Mt.
Zion's ongoing re-invention as a vocal-driven outfit and revealed Efrim's growing strength as a lyricist.
The results are deeply moving and utterly original in both poetics and sonics - songs that invoke a tender and hopeful collective consciousness wrought from mythic/mystic themes, motivated by the tiny graces and tragic failures of our contemporary communities and cultures.
