about

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 original Hotel2Tango in Montreal.

Stubborn tiny lights vs. clustering darkness forever ok?

Departure Songs

Sometimes music is too heartbreaking to listen to. This is, yet I do, knowing it's about real people, extreme courage and gut-punching tragedies. If ever music spoke louder than words, this does. I feel guilty for listening and enjoying, so I dedicate my thoughts to love for those lost. This is a new level of Post-Rock, from a band I had recently heard for the first time. What a blessing to have found them. Lorcat

This has become one of the most important albums of my life. It’s essence is indescribable. Every sound from the start of the record through the end is placed delicately and with care. The album cover is by Julie Mehretu. It’s absolutely an incredible release for which I shall be eternally grateful. Aniket
