Godspeed You Black Emperor!
The instrumental, multimedia Montreal group Godspeed You Black Emperor! creates extended, repetition-oriented chamber rock. The minimal and patient builds-to-crescendo of the group's compositions result in a meditative and hypnotic listen that becomes almost narrative when combined with found-sound splices and the films of their visual collaborators. GYBE! formed in 1994, and that year self-released a limited-run (33 copies) cassette entitled All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling. The band's next recording, F#A#(Infinity), was initially a limited-run release ...[more]

An evo-revo-lutionary collage of sonic gorgeousness and ache-agonizing ensemble reverie, overloaded with layered melodies, pulsing dynamics, and dedicated exuberance.

F#A# Infinity was the culmination of Godspeed's evolution into a large ensemble. By early 1997, the band had taken shape as a quasi-orchestral outfit involving most of the current players and had mounted a number of live performances combining multiple film projections with sense-rattling sonics. The recording of F#A# Infinity took place at their loft (Hotel 2 Tango) on a rented 16-track four-track recordings and material from the band's archive of field recordings. The opening monologue on Si [ read more ]

Highly recommended. Two new pieces capture the band in all their mesmerizing, drawn-out glory. Both songs are long intricate compositions that rise and fall with the full dynamics and interplay that characterize Godspeed's live performances.

U.X.O. is unexploded ordnance, landmines, cluster bombs. Yanqui is post-colonial imperialism, international police state, multinational corporate oligarchy. Godspeed You! Black Emperor is complicit and guilty, but resisting. The new album is just music. Recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago. Mixed by Howard Bilerman and Godspeed You! Black Emperor at the Hotel2Tango in Montreal. Stubborn tiny lights vs. clustering darkness forever, ok?
