| 3.5 great | Alabaster Jones | November 9th 15 |
While A Silver Mt. Zion did remarkably well on "This Is Our Punk Rock...", they were never a band to stagnate, and that rings true once again on Horses In The Sky. This time around, things are decidedly minimal, with a huge emphasis being placed on Efrim Muneck's vocals and small, simple instrumental repetitions. On certain tracks, like the evocative title-track, the music leans toward contemporary folk stylings, and approach the simplicity tactfully and precisely. While a couple of songs might have a passage or two that slightly overstay their welcome, things are pretty well done as far as pacing is concerned. The only problem is that, while becoming more contemporary, the band lose a part of themselves that made them so interesting to listen to, and lose a bit of originality as a result. Still, the release is definitely a good one, and is surely a worthy addition to A Silver Mt. Zion's discography.

I'm fairly new to post rock, but this album so god-damn awesome. In my opinion, tracks 1 and 6 are quite poor, but tracks 2,3,4 and 5 are all amazing singalong anthems almost. The vocals are often criticized because they are very out of key to say the least, but I find them so emotive, beautiful and unlike anything else. For me, the vocals are the icing on this sparse, atmospheric, but amazingly catchy cake.
