Seeing as I'm a really big fan of Godspeed You Black Emperor, it's pretty surprising to me that I'm just getting to the band's side projects. Silver Mt Zion, from what I can gather, is the most well-known project to stem from certain GY!BE members, so I gave their first record a shot. And... it's good, but very different.
