Pretty Little Lightning Paw is an EP by Thee Silver Mountain Reveries. It was released in May of 2004 on Constellation Records. The name the band assumed for this EP was temporary; they have since reverted to using Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-la-la Band.
Many of the band members switched instruments for this recording.[1] For example, Sophie Trudeau, who can usually be found playing violin, plays the bass guitar.
When recording was complete, the EP was played on a boombox and rerecorded from that, giving it a rough sound.[1]
On the track, "There's a River in the Valley Made of Melting Snow", the Hebrew lyric, "baruch atta adonai" (ברוך אתה אדוני), means "bless the Lord."
