HṚṢṬA (pronounced /ˈhɜrʃtə/, Sanskrit हृष्ट [ɦrʂʈa]) 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, where they have released Stem Stem in Electro, and also Ghosts Will Come And Kiss Our Eyes, released in the fall of 2007.
