Kollaps Traditioxales

The new album from Silver Mt. Zion is titled Kollaps Traditioxales.  Below is a song.  It's awesome.  They're awesome.  I've got to admit, sadly, that I'm just discovering the band's awesomeness apart from Godspeed! You Black Emperor, but both Born Into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upward and He Has Left Us Alone but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms have dominated my playlists since the start of the year and it's not just because so many of their songs are about disillusionment with corporatism and politics and governments and greed.  Well, that's not the only reason at least.  I have a post later in the week of the song "Movie (Never Made)" from He Has Left Us Alone..., because the spoken line "let's kill first the banker" is just the absolutely perfect line about the state of our economy and our world and our life, today, in 2010, even though it was written ten years ago, in 2000, by a group of Canadian anarchists who were much better known at the time for instrument-fueled anthems for G!YBE that basically created the genre of post-rock music.  But you don't have to love their politics, or even understand it, for I can't even consider that I have a clue yet what they're singing about yet.  But their music is wonderful.  And sometimes that's enough.  The new album is out February 16th.  Let's kill first the banker.

Tra-la-la

Sorry if the song isn't showing up you should be able to see it at their website but I have no access to a computer right now and I can't figure out the why on my phone.

I have ordered the deluxe edition CD from the label. Look forward to listening to it!

Me too! (although I already have a copy). "There is Light" is magical.
