13 Blues for Thirteen Moons [Slipcase]

by A Silver Mt. Zion / Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra

4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]ll rickety brass, lurching rhythms, sepia-tinted, wide open arrangements and a scree of guitars, over which leader Efrim delivers his ragged-trousered vocal holler..."
"[A]ll seven members take up the microphone for repetitive chants and interplay of staggered vocals, which in conjunction with Menuk's emotive lead wail are ominous and powerful."
"Each track crackles and fizzles like old vinyl spinning....Each dirge is artfully punctuated with end-of-days string arrangements."
3 stars out of 5 -- "[F]our epic, soul-stirring protest numbers which marry guitar scree, tumultuous rhythms and elegant orchestration."
Harp (magazine) (p.118) - "Rage and disillusionment take shape in crashing, cataclysmic percussion and keening ecstasies of string..."
