G_d's Pee At State's End!
Godspeed You! Black Emperor returns with another soundtrack for our times, like only this inimitable and venerable ensemble can forge. As the heretical impudence of the anarcho-punk title implies, Godspeed harnesses some particularly raw power, spittle and grit across two riveting 20-minute long trajectories of noise-drenched widescreen post-rock: inexorable chug blossoms into blown-out twang, as some of the band's most soaring, searing melodies ricochet and converge amidst violin and bassline counterpoint. Field recordings and roiling semi-improvised passages frame these fervent epics, and two shorter pieces on the included 10" find the band at its most devastatingly haunting and elegiac. Poignant atmospherics, noise-drenched orchestration, drones, hypnotic swingtime crescendos, inexorably-layers of distorted clarion sound: 'G_d's Pee At State's End' encapsulates every beloved facetof the band.
