Pretty Little Lightning Paw

VINYL FORMAT. The "Pretty Little Lightning Paw" EP was originally available on CD only at shows during The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band European tour in Winter 2004. The EP contains all new songs, with a total running time of just over 30 minutes. What began as studio sketches evolved, through a few intense drunken nights, into beautiful, unfettered songs that confirm Mt. Zion's ongoing reinvention as a vocal-driven outfit and reveals Efrim's growing strength as a lyricist. The results are deeply moving and utterly original in both poetics and sonics -- songs that explicitly invoke a tender and hopeful collective consciousness wrought from mythic/mystic themes, motivated by the tiny graces and tragic failures of our contemporary communities and cultures.
