This debut album from Thee Silver Mt. Zion offers a raw, visceral, and intensely emotional listening experience, establishing their unique blend of abrasive post-rock and cathartic string arrangements. It serves as a powerful statement of intent for the burgeoning experimental music scene.
- The album was recorded and mixed at The Hotel 2 Tango in Montreal, a studio frequently utilized by bands on the Constellation Records label.
- "He Has Left Us Alone..." features a prominent use of bowed guitar and unconventional percussion, creating a dense and often unsettling sonic texture.
- The release date of March 13, 2000, positions this album as one of the earliest significant post-rock statements of the new millennium.
