Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

A majestic post-rock masterpiece from this Canadian collective. 4 tracks that span a gamut of emotion, textures, and sounds - everything from quiet percussion, instrumental ambient drone, sprawling wall of sound, epic, building crescendos and melancholic come-downs, all sprinkled with an occasional background of murky-found-sound/spoken-word moments. When people refer to the music as ''pieces'' or ''movements'' rather than low-brow 'songs', you know you're in for a potentially pretentious listening experience. But, ultimately, I believe godspeed pulls it off admirably. A true epic that will probably go down as one of the decade's best when all is said and done.
