Godspeed You! Black Emperor

There is a particular sonic itch that i have that can only be scratched by the post rock and drone sounds of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.  And so, there is much excitement around these parts with the announcement of the upcoming new album "NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD."  Going by the title of the album and the songs, this will be a heavier and more anguished affair, a desperate cry and plea to end the ongoing genocide of the Palestinians being perpetrated by Israel and the Western superpowers.  The band included this message with the album release announcement:

THE PLAIN TRUTH==

we drifted through it, arguing.

every day a new war crime, every day a flower bloom.

we sat down together and wrote it in one room,

and then sat down in a different room, recording.

NO TITLE= what gestures make sense while tiny bodies fall? what

context? what broken melody?

and then a tally and a date to mark a point on the line, the negative

process, the growing pile.

the sun setting above beds of ash

while we sat together, arguing.

the old world order barely pretended to care.

this new century will be crueler still.

war is coming.

don’t give up.

pick a side.

hang on.

love.
