A Silver Mt. Zion - This Gentle Hearts Like Shot Bird’s Fallen (from Born Into Trouble As The Sparks Fly Upward)
A Silver Mt. Zion is a band formed in 1999, in Montreal, Quebec. Originally an off shoot of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, comprising several members of that collective, subsequently more members have been added. To some extent, A Silver Mt. Zion was born out of a desire on the part of the godspeed players to work in a smaller musical ensemble; in effect, to escape some of the constraints that often accompany writing and arranging music democratically with nine musicians. As well, Efrim simply wanted a vehicle to realize some of his own musical ideas that would not necessarily work well within the context of godspeed. A Silver Mt. Zion’s sound is somewhat similar in style and sound to Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, Mono and the mighty GY!BE themselves. Their music, between post-rock and ambient, is creative, spiritual, unique and moving.
