GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPOROR! [GYBE] — No Title as of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead
More Info
"Die schlimmen Kriegsereignisse in Nahost bestimmten die Titelgebung des 9ten Albums des kanadischen Postrockkollektivs genauso massiv wie sie auch die Band beschftigte, die heftig darber diskutierte und stritt, bevor sie aufnahm. Das hatte auch Konsequenzen bei der musikalischen Entstehung der wie immer ellenlangen Songs, die teils eine ganze LP-Seite ausfllen. Das drohende Kriegsunheil und das Aufkeimen des Bsen ist schon immer wieder sprbar, auch wenn der bekannte sthetische Rahmen nicht anders als auf den vorhergehenden Alben klingt. Z.B. auf der dritten LP-Seite in "Devils own this town": Von dumpfen Schlgen durchbrochene mahlende Distortiongitarren und die den GYBE immer auch mit prgende Geige schwingen sich lautmalerisch auf, dann kommen fernstliche Klnge ins Spiel, dann zerreisst eine geschrammelte Gitarre den Aufbau. In den wiederum rein instrumentalen Stcke verbinden sich Kummer, Schmerz und Angst vor der Brutalitt (drohenden) Krieges. GYBE zeigen sich spielfreudig und wirken hochemotional in den epischen Stcken, die unerwartete Wendungen nehmen, sich immer wieder steigern, abfallen, sich verndern und wenig Grund fr Optimismus bieten.
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."
