Megan's Top 70 of 2010: #63 - Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra

Why I Decree it to Be So:

Who needs traditional song structure when there are epic, almost unfathomable fifteen-minute opuses to be created? Certainly not Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, that's for dang sure. Kollaps Tradixionales is a rich, complex, and demanding of your undivided, reverential attention. The payoff for your due diligence is immense, mind-bending sonic beauty and noisy confoundation that will quite possibly mess with your mind. Do Canadians do the whole experimental changeling sonic sprawl thing better than anyone? There are times, such as while listening to this record, that I'd be inclined to say yes.
