Hrsta

Hrsta (stylized as HṚṢṬA) (/ˈhɜːrʃtə/; Sanskrit हृष्ट [ɦɽɪʂʈɐ]) 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 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.
