A Silver Mt. Zion is a Canadian post-rock band, formed in 1999 by Godspeed You! Black Emperor musicians Efrim Menuck, Sophie Trudeau and Thierry Amar.

Other names for the band include The (or Thee) Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band, and Thee Silver Mountain Reveries.

According to an interview with VPRO Radio in the Netherlands, originally the project was for Efrim to learn how to score music, but the idea was soon abandoned as Efrim decided that he preferred music not to be defined by rules, preferring simply what sounds best.

He continued the project to experiment with ideas that would not work within the framework of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

The decision to record an album was partly inspired by the death of his dog Wanda, who had died while Godspeed You! Black Emperor was on tour. He wanted to record an album in her memory, but did not feel that he could effectively do this through Godspeed's collective, consensus format.
