Hrsta (pronounced 'hursh-tah') is Mike Moya, founding member of both Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Molasses, as well as a member of Set Fire To Flames and the Lonesome Hanks.

Ghosts Will Come And Kiss Our Eyes is a collection of gently foreboding psych-folk, anchored as always by Mike's unique guitar sound and otherworldly, cracked vocals (think a sedated Daniel Johnson or Wayne Coyne).

Hrsta (her-shta) is the brainchild of founding Godspeed You! Black Emperor guitarist Mike Moya, who is joined on this third album by Brooke Crouser (Jackie-O Motherfucker) on organs, guitars and various effects.
