BlindBlindBlind Anchored by drummer Eric Craven ex-Hangedup , the band works its slow build and burn with newfound patience, sinuousness and ferocity.
Frankly, it's quite a thrill to hear Silver Mount Zion kick up a maelstrom of sound like that; simply put, they have never rocked that hard, or that convincingly, in their entire career.
Even the noisiest, loudest moments of Godspeed You Black Emperor! Those sonic explosions were always incredibly tight and precisely controlled, whereas this new noise of Silver Mount Zion possesses an unpredictable, dangerous edge. It's their call to arms, if you will, and if the band were to truly go out on the streets with this music, it'd surely present a matter of worrying for whatever establishment they'd choose to rally against.
It's only fitting that during the preceding tour, where Silver Mount Zion road-tested much of this material, the title track -- an ugly, raging beast of a song known as "We Just Want Some Action" -- could well stand as the title of this whole collection. Such a shift in sound can even be perceived as a political statement of sorts, embodying a collective voice of people who used to be quiet and keep to themselves but are now unable to remain silent and intend to inform the powers that be that they are not going to take it any longer.
Whatever that "it" might be -- ongoing war, oil prices, poverty, hunger, social unrest, signs of Apocalypse -- it's really beside the point; what matters is a simple act of first raising your head and then your voice and your fist. It's not all sound and fury, of course. There are enough quiet moments amidst all the chaos. And perhaps that's the most singular achievement of 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons , how the band known for its relentlessly bleak and desperate outlook manage to maintain enough spirit to close its most righteous, furious record on a note that's full of grace, beauty, and hope.
Silver Mount Zion were already way ahead of many of their contemporaries, but 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons sees them blazing past even further, up and away, to some unexplored, perhaps dangerous, but tremendously exciting new horizons of artistic expression.
