As you may have read over at Pitchforkmedia, the Montreal orchestral band A Silver Mt. Zion have lent their track, “Tho You Are Gone I Still Often Walk W/You,” to an upcoming promo for the fourth season of the convoluted mystical island show, “Lost.”
MT. Zion are a Montreal outfit with many members of the staunchly anti-capitalist/anti-commercial squatter-rock symphony Godspeed You! Black Emperor, so it strikes some as odd that they would even touch this with a 50-ft pole (you’ll remember that Godspeed lent a track to Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later” and then had a shitfit over it). But maybe things are changing or certain members (Efrim maybe?) are growing up and getting over it. A Silver Mt. Zion also recently liscensed a song of theirs to David Gordon Green’s upcoming film, “Snow Angels.”
Either way, you can hear the track used in the “Lost” advert below. It’s the piano track right at the beginning.
