gmoney Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 TRACKLIST: A1 Any Fucking Thing You Love B1 Birds Toss Precious Stones DURATION: 23:16 RELEASE DATE: 29 APRIL 2014 First-ever official dance/remix/electronic tracks from SMZ Features guest vocals by Ariel Engle (AroarA, Land Of Kush) Following their acclaimed Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light On Everything released in January, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra dust off an old chesnut from their 2005 album Horses In The Sky and coat it in glitter and shards of glass; not remixes at all really, but brand new recordings that use set-closing live favourite “Hang On To Each Other” as a launching point for some rather glorious techno-dancefloor excursions.

gmoney Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Also this : It’s like that famous quote that Emma Goldman never said = “DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION”! Somewhere around 1964 or thereabouts, we wrote a tune called “Hang On to Each Other”. Acapella mostly, with just a few chords on harmonium. Recorded the thing in the woods ‘round a campfire = heady times. The chords to that tune are like house music chords, and we figured we’d re-record it someday, thusly and EARNESTLY. 4-on-the-floor. Drum machines and arpeggiators. Pink lasers and grape-flavored smoke machines. Most important thing = No irony. Because we love that kind of music, and impromptu dance parties too. Guess it took a long time to manifest, but this past x-mas we finally rustled up the necessary gear and holed up in the snow to loop thee joyful noise = 808, Oberheim Two-Voice, bright yellow toy keyboard, low pass filter, auto-wah bass guitar, wooden drone-box, squeaky tape delay, broken oscillator, string machine, distortion pedal, and violin. No guitar. We let the machines yell at each other until they were hoarse and wheezing. With a baby in her belly, Ariel Engle of AroarA did the kind of singing that we can’t, and we are thankful. Outside of the studio, the city was frozen, and thin tendrils of fine snow whisped across the ice like dragons. We made this thing like a for-real disco 12-inch, for to give to d.j.’s to play because we live in the kind of town where some d.j.’s maybe will. Much respect and much love to thee sweaty dancers, and the lost ones, and the ones who fell away. xoxoxox thee silver mt. zion memorial orchestra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 If that wasn't straight from the horse's mouth, I would just assume that ASMZ are trolling hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youinreverse Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Well. This is. Huh. This captures my feelings pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm guessing this is the same material that'll be on the RSD release? I've got some cautious optimism regarding the content, really out of left field though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andi Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Don't know what to think about that. Will give it a listen, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deletedunknown Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Up for preorder with a track to hear. http://cstrecords.com/cst105/ It actually does sound pretty great, but not really like Silver Mt Zion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Up for preorder on Amazon too, $15.54. http://www.amazon.com/Hang-Other-Silver-Memorial-Orchestra/dp/B00IROI98G/ If I remember right, that's usually the cheaper option once shipping cost is factored in.

Guest Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Awful awful awful awful awful!!!!! Glad they streamed a song with this. Screw buying it. Disgusting. I was pretty excited for an EP but seriously fuck this. I have never canceled an Amazon preorder so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Saw them a few hours ago, it was excellent. 1.5 hour set that consisted almost completely of material from 'Fuck Off'. They had that and this EP for sale, plus some rad shirts. I had a great time overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
