HRSTA - Montreal - Post Rock

[Prime]

HṚṢṬA (pronounced /ˈhɜrʃtə/, Sanskrit हृष्ट [ɦr̩ʂʈa]) is a Montreal post-rock band that records on Constellation Records. The band's leader, Mike Moya (guitar and voice), was also one of the founding members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Hrsta's sound has been compared to that of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band and Set Fire to Flames, owing to Mike Moya's unique contributions to each. Hrsta, however, differs from these previous projects in that it features Moya as a vocalist.
The other members of the band (as of the last album) are: Harris Newman, Eric Craven and Brooke Crouser.
Hrsta is currently signed to Constellation Records, where they have released Stem Stem in Electro, and also Ghosts Will Come And Kiss Our Eyes, released in the fall of 2007.

I can't give much of an opinion on these guys yet, considering i've just recently started to listen to them, but I figured a thread would be perfect, because everything i've heard so far has been great. Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot of coverage on this band just yet, so the pictures and videos are what I could find.
