The new album from Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-La-La Band is well weird. It’s got 16 tracks, but the first 12 are all untitled instrumentals. Wacky. Whack?
That’s not for us to say, but 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons is out on March 25th in the US, with what’s probably a similar, uh, ETA scheduled for the majority of our readership in the UK.
Out through Constellation on CD and what Pitchfork.com describe as “180-gram double-LP”, here’s the tracklisting for 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons as sponsored by the Drowned in Sound style guide:
‘Untitled’

‘1,000,000 Died to Make This Sound’
‘13 Blues for Thirteen Moons’
‘Black Waters Blowed/Engine Broke Blues’
‘BlindBlindBlind’
Among the other curiosities surrounding the record is the fact that it was co-engineered by Howard Bilerman, who used to be in Arcade Fire. No? Not biting? It’s the first LP from the act to feature a lyric sheet.
Yes. Win.
