HRSTA
Hrsta (stylized as HṚṢṬA) (; Sanskrit: हृष्ट hṛṣṭa [ɦr̩ʂʈɐ], 'thrilling with rapture', 'rejoiced') is a Montreal post-rock band currently signed to Constellation Records. The band's leader, Mike Moya (guitar and vocals), was one of the founding members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The other members of the band are Brooke Crouser, Harris Newman, and Eric Craven. Lisa Gamble joined in 2007 and Nick Kuepfer in 2009.
Hrsta's sound has been compared to that of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Set Fire to Flames, owing to Mike Moya's contributions to each. Hrsta, however, differs from these previous projects in that it features Moya as a vocalist.
Their latest album, Ghosts Will Come and Kiss Our Eyes, was released in the fall of 2007.
