The dreamy debut album from the trio of GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR's EFRIM, THIERRY and SOPHIE. An eight-part collage of two plaintive, reverb-drenched ensemble pieces composed on piano, and then arranged with contrabass and violin, and interspersed with tapes, drones, loops and an occasional vocal. Dedicated to Efrim's dog Wanda, who is dying of cancer. Packaged in vellum-finish cardstock jackets foil-stamped with red metallic ink.

Released in 2005, that record established Silver Mount Zion as a musical force all its own, existing beyond any sort of stylistic boundaries.
