HE HAS LEFT US ALONE BUT SHAFTS OF LIGHT SOMETIMES GRACE THE CORNER OF OUR ROOMS

The first A Silver Mt.Zion did appear at the peak of the Constellation hype when Godspeed You Black Emperor! and the likes ruled the world. And it is indeed a post rock production with its cinematic atmosphere, minimal renditions and so on. The main difference between A Silver Mt.Zion and its mother band resides in their neo classical approach, chamber like music that in fact will make them closer to a band like Rachel's. "He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corner Of Our Rooms" has a very melancholic atmosphere and stands as the most personal and the most convincing A Silver Mt.Zion album. "13 Angels Standing Guard 'Round the Side of Your Bed" and its almost funeral march alike profile makes alone listening to this album a worthy experience.
