Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra (SMZ) has traced a barbed-wire arc of genre-defying protest music, through seven albums, since its inception in 1999. SMZ has pared back to five players, with Menuck's massive spectrum-spanning electric guitar sound emerging as the spine around which two violins, bass (now more often electric than acoustic) and drums are supported and deployed. Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light On Everything is the first definitive document of the band's newfound sound and style as a quintet.
