"Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra (SMZ) returns with its 6th full-length album. As Kollaps Tradixionales ably demonstrates, the band has lost none of its raw and frazzled anthemic power and continues to forge bold new ground in its search for a unique hybrid of punk, blues, psych, folk and modern orchestral idioms. Anchored by the fried electric guitar and plangent voice of bandleader Efrim Menuck (co-founder of Godspeed You! Black Emperor) SMZ continues to slide comfortably and unforcedly towards an expansive, loose and blues-inflected balladry that bears little reference to typical notions of musical seduction, relaxation, or hip-swinging satisfaction. What smolders here is much more precarious and anxious, driven by some of this decade's more devastating lyrical conjurings – of the universal outsider and the thematics of 21st century western psychic oppression. The sonic references are abundant, ranging from afrobeat to bouzouki music to hard bop to punk rock and are indeed 'traditionals' of a sort, playing on tropes of American and Anglo-Saxon folk, marching songs, a sea shanty and hymnals."
