Godspeed are back with a brand new double album and compact disc.
What do you think it's gonna be like then? Bet you could just guess what's
it's gonna be like. More of the same I hear you cry??? Well yeh it is
even with Albini at the mantle it doesn't sound drastically different.
But it's most enjoyable. Usually I'd slag folks off for being one trick
pony's cos you need more than that in this day and age to impress with
the wealth of music being offered week after week. But they do it so well
bless 'em. 3 tracks (spread out over 5 tracks on the CD which I don't
understand at all) totalling 75 mins. Yeh it's got it's mellow drawn out
boring bits but it's also got the big balls out pompous kick ass bits
too. Yanqui U.X.O is a bit of a result really.....
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
U.X.O. is unexploded ordnance is landmines is cluster bombs. Yanqui is post-colonial imperialism is international police state is multinational corporate oligarchy. Godspeed You! Black Emperor is complicit is guilty is resisting. The new album is just raw, angry, dissonant, epic instrumental rock. Recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago and mixed by Howard Bilerman and Godspeed You! Black Emperor at the Hotel2Tango in Montreal. Stubborn tiny lights vs. clustering darkness forever ok?
