Thee Silver Mountain Reveries—a temporary moniker for the renowned collective better known as The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra—delivered a uniquely intimate and focused statement with the 2004 release of The "Pretty Little Lightning Paw" E.P.
Recorded at Montreal’s legendary Hotel2Tango and famously "ghettoblastered" (played back and re-recorded via a boombox) to achieve its distinctive, raw sonic texture, this EP marks a departure from the band's larger, sweeping orchestrations. The recording features an experimental spirit, with members rotating instruments—including Sophie Trudeau moving to bass and Ian Ilavsky taking up percussion—resulting in a tighter, more vocal-centric sound that trades bombastic crescendos for nuanced tension and atmospheric beauty.
Key Highlights:
- Original Label: Constellation (CST030)
- Run Time: 30:16 of all-new material
- Standout Tracks: Includes the haunting "Microphones in the Trees" and the densely layered title track, "Pretty Little Lightning Paw."
- Audiophile Quality: Expertly mastered by Harris Newman at Grey Market Recording.
Whether you are a completist of the Godspeed You! Black Emperor extended family or a fan of experimental post-rock, this EP is an essential, focused piece of the Constellation Records canon.
