Pretty Little Lightning Paw | Extended Play

'The Pretty Little Lightning Paw' mini-album was originally made available as a CD only at shows during the A SILVER MT, ZION Memorial Orchestra & Tra La La Band European tour in 2004, The mini album contains four new compositions. 'More Action! Less Tears' opens the festivities - a noisy clarion call of chiming instrumental rock driven by a long wraparound riff, This cut finds various Mt, Zion players trading/switching instruments for the rockout, with cascading tape treatments added by Efrim in the mixdown, Three more songs follow which Efrim began recording in sporadic late night sessions in Montreal last year in which two members of FRANKIE SPARO provided vocal support. This is a collection of beautiful, unfettered and unbelabored songs. 'The Pretty Little Lightning Paw' confirms Mt, Zion's ongoing retooling as a vocal driven outfit and reveals Efrim's growing strength as a lyricist, The results are deeply moving and utterly original in both poetics and sonics.
