Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra is operating as a quartet in their most recent incarnation: violins intermixing with electric and bass guitar while Efrim Menuck's lyrics carry a distinctive punk ethos. Constellation Records, who is releasing the record, writes of the new album, which you can stream in its entirety above:
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.See a tracklist after the jump.
