THEE SILVER MT. ZION MEMORIAL ORCHESTRA & TRA-LA-LA BAND - 13 Blues For Thirteen Moons

As soon as the first twelve tracks of untitled feedback zip past, putting the band's evasive and mutinous side on literal display while the numbers jump ship every few seconds, Mt. Zion lay into the listener with zeal, the battle lines drawn between them and all "ye twits across thy internet" (hey, that smarts!). Granted, at one LP side per 10-minute-plus tune, these dirgy screeds demand pre-mp3-era commitment, culminating halfway with the second section of the title track, a 9/8 vamp that gathers momentum in a most righteous Ex-like manner. Comes with a "hymn book" so fans can join Efrim & co. in the gospel.
