HṚṢṬA (हृष्ट in Sanskrit, pronounced /IPA|hrʂʈ̩a/, or /IPA|hɚʃ.tæ/ in English) 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. Although people tend to compare Hrsta's sound with that of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band or even Set Fire to Flames (which may be interpreted an adequate description because Mike Moya has played/plays with them all and his guitar sound is unique), Hrsta differs from the previous in the use they make of Moya's voice, a characteristic that's as unique as his guitar skills. The strings are almost always used just as a means to fill a texture or complement the overall sound.

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.
