DESCRIPTION
|||• Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra (SMZ) has traced a barbed-wire arc of genre–defying protest music since its inception in 1999. Formed by Efrim Menuck, with Thierry Amar and Sophie Trudeau, the initial iteration of the band was a predominantly instrumental trio that forged a more intimate and ragged chamber–punk than Godspeed You! Black Emperor, the other group in which all three founding SMZ members also played (and continue to play). Through seven albums from 2000–2010, SMZ expanded its line–up and shifted towards an increasing use of lead and group vocals, with Menuck penning politically–charged lyrics to anchor long–form multi–movement compositions that juxtaposed electrified guitars against a 4–piece string section of violins, cello and contrabass.
|||• Most recently, SMZ has pared back to five players, with Menuck's massive spectrum–spanning electric guitar sound emerging as the spine around which two violins, bass (now more often electric than acoustic) and drums are deployed. SMZ have managed a handful of short tours in the past couple of years (in the gaps between GYBE commitments) and as anyone who has seen the band in its recent incarnation can attest, their current sound is more honed, laser–guided and bone–rattling than ever, melding hardcore, blues, garage and dark metal influences that have nothing to do with anything so quaint as “post–rock” (a tag the group has always and rightly rejected).
|||• Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light On Everything is the first definitive document of the band's newfound sound and style as a quintet. It’s also their first single LP–length work since the band’s debut record as a trio almost 15 years ago, and features road-tested pummeling rock–outs “Fuck Off Get Free (For The Island Of Montréal)”, “Take Away These Early Grave Blues” and “What We Loved Was Not Enough” alongside the previously unheard lullabyes/minuets “Little Ones Run” and “Rains Thru The Roof At Thee Grande Ballroom (For Capital Steez)” and the album centerpiece “Austerity Blues” with its closing lyric “Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down” sung in varying incarnations throughout the second half of this 14–minute epic.
|||• This lyric in many ways encapsulates Menuck's unflinching take on a world replete with shabbiness, greed and injustice, seen through the lens of parenthood, mortality, endurance and defiance. There are few other musicians who deliver social critique with the courage and honesty of lines like “All our cities gonna burn / All our bridges gonna snap / All our pennies gonna rot / Lightning roll across our tracks / All our children gonna die”. Feel–good music this is not; but neither can it reductively be tagged apocalyptic or world–weary. Fuck Off Get Free rages with scorn and with hope, utterly passionate but pointedly unromantic. Thee Silver Mt. Zion once again demonstrates, like few other bands working today, that there is much to fight for and against, and plenty more fight songs to sing. Thanks for listening.

REVIEW
By Jenn Pelly on November 19, 2013 at 08:25 a.m.
||| On January 21, Constellation release the next LP from Godspeed You! Black Emperor offshoot Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra (aka A Silver Mt. Zion, Thee Silver Mt. Zion, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra–La–La Band,…)
||| It’s titled Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light On Everything and follows 2010′s Kollaps Tradixionales. A press release notes that the album was written by the group’s current five–piece lineup, and is thus “heavier” and more “direct.”
||| The six–track effort sees SMZ exploring music that is more “laser–guided and bone–rattling than ever, melding hardcore, blues, garage and dark metal influences that have nothing to do with anything so quaint as ‘post–rock.’”
||| The final track, “Rains Thru the Roof at Thee Grande Ballroom (For Capital Steez)”, is indeed a tribute to the late rapper Capital Steez, who was a member of Joey Bada$$’s Pro Era crew and died last year at age 19.

REVIEWS:
||| "A fierce burst of intricacy, passion and punk urgency." — Rock–A–Rolla (cover feature)
||| "Over a swelling symphony of guitars marked by spastic, lingering riffs, [on "Take Away These Early Grave Blues"] frontman Efrim Menuck eerily wails to “let them sing on”, a line that plays out as both an anthemic call to action and an absolute condemnation over the sea of blitzing dissonance. While the band’s fury seems as if it could build and build into eternity, it eventually breaks down into a cascade of atmospheric feedback, which only makes its short and violent lifespan burn that much brighter." — Consequence of Sound
||| "Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra is a very different beast than the Polaris–winning band from which they spun off, Godspeed You! Black Emperor. In fact, through the heaviness and mantra–like shouts, this latest song “Take Away These Early Grave Blues” sounds more like Swans’ The Seer than Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!. It’s an immediate and propulsive piece of music where the word “post rock” never crosses your mind once — this is punk as all hell." — Stereogum
||| "Harnessing the relentless roar of an underdog army. While often similarly majestic [to GY!BE] SMZ adopt a more vocal form of protest as they channel punk, rock and folk forms into epic petrol bomb songs, wall–of–sound clamour and tear-stained revolutionary ballads. Whether blasting barricades with tumultuous waves of drums, sawn strings and guitars or stumbling softly through the morning after ashes, this is a powerful collection of contemporary battle hymns that rings out like a well-needed musical call to arms for the 99 per cent." — MOJO
||| "The current lineup...gives the band's delivery more focus and allows it to move with greater stealth and mobility. Throughout the fifty–minute album, the band works up a glorious noise, with all five members contributing vocals, sometimes in the form of a collective chant, to the six songs... Theirs is not a music dragged down by defeat and surrender but one empowered by clear–headed hope and determination. As the group sings in the album's opening song, “But there's fire in our dreams,” and we hope that said fire will long continue to burn." — Textura
