Day #3407 Godspeed You Black Emperor! ‎– F♯ A♯ ∞ To say this record is important is an understatement. Bands like this, Can, Kraftwerk, butthole surfers, sonic youth take music to the next level before anyone even new the level existed. Band like this are like bridges. Before they existed you didn’t even contemplate the gap. One the bridge is built, you can’t even contemplate what would be had they never come around. #1997 #constellationrecords #GSYBE #godspeedyoublackemperor #minorthread #tshirtwars https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Wz05tjpSJ/?igshid=wl8nfvlklpz8

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

The Barrowlands, Glasgow, Scotland

September 30th 2024

"The car is on fire and there's no driver at the wheel And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides And a dark wind blows The government is corrupt And we're on so many drugs With the radio on and the curtains drawn..." Feeling a Godspeed vibe right now... This is the debut album from Canadian post-rock ensemble Godspeed You! Black Emperor, a somewhat fluid collective, based out of Montreal, Quebec. Their sound entails long instrumental pieces, epochal noise bursts of apocalyptic passages, with elements of American folk, blues, classical, jazz, snippets of fragmented vocals, faint hints of gospel and soul, political polemics and religious fervour...all enmeshed and tangled up in the chaos is the ever-present vein of Hope, a sense of communal spirit amongst the madness of the world. We build quiet, indeterminate armies of Hope and Equality while they sit on their crumbling thrones of rusting gold, their Houses of Cards disintegrating in front of their unfeeling, unseeing eyes. The Hammer Of Hope is our guide, our strength, our water in a drying land. #godspeed #GY!BE #fsharpasharpinfinity #ConstellationRecords #Hotel2Tango #Montreal #Canada #postrock #apocalypticrock #HammerofHope #efrimmenuck #mikemoya #SophieTrudeau #ThierryAmar #MauroPezzente #AidanGirt #KarlLemieux #DavidBryant (at Kings Norton, Birmingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdt2i7AIDVp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dark days are imminent folks... "...The government is corrupt and we are made drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn... ...we're trapped in the belly of this machine and the machine is bleeding to death..." Godspeed You! Black Emperor present a sprawling, bleak, nightmarish vision of the near future, but retain the Hammer Of Hope amid the despair... This is their debut album, f# a# infinity, released in 1997 on the renowned Constellation Records label, recorded at the Mighty Hotel 2 Tango. We raise quiet armies while the corrupt decay into rust... #GodspeedYouBlackEmperor #fsharpasharpinfinity #ConstellationRecords #Hotel2Tango #apocalypticrock #postrock #HammerOfHope #Canada https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_nGLwn0iK/?igshid=12rpnsld0rsdw

A Silver Mt Zion..."He Has Left Us Alone, But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corner Of Our Rooms "...featuring members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Efrim Menuck, Sophie Trudeau and Thierry Amar). With the band expanding came slight amendments to the name, these being numerous. The band are more of a vehicle for Efrim and the musical ideas that would not really work in GY!BE. This is the debut album by the band, released on Constellation Records in 2000. #ASMZ #ASilverMtZion #ConstellationRecords #HeHasLeftUsAloneButShaftsOfLightSometimesGraceTheCornerOfOurRooms #EfrimMenuck #SophieTrudeau #ThierryAmar #TheeMightyHotel2Tango #postrock #Canada #cd #orchestral https://www.instagram.com/p/B3QclyFnXJ3/?igshid=gwawtxy793yt

Sandro Perri 'Soft Landing'

After last year experiment in infinite songwriting, a courageous choice fairly credited to be one of the best of 2018, Sandro Perri’s comeback is in Costellation Records and titles Soft Landing More than a decade later than his full-length Tiny Mirrors, the Canadian ex-Polmo Polpo (that was his early career moniker) returns with a record madid of hypnotic charge, sagacious composing technique and cutting-edge mindset. After his years of folk-tingered tunes and unfitting mementos from other galaxies (like the beautiful The Science of Breath, 2002) this time our versatile hero softly sings his soul out in a diluted dreamlike world, through a career-defining moment, that confirms to be a power-house soaring rocket pointing at the sun. The promised nomen-omenl-ly Soft Landing starts off with Time (You Got Me), a track that is totally driven to rapture, showing off a sonic rectitude with harmonies made of rapacious appetite for life. In Floriana we experience the sense of water percolating through our body: the balance of the arrangement sweetly translates the  beatitude of being alive. God blessed the fool hovers around a Deedly deedly dum dum that leads a lyrics the subconsciously resonates without being able to stay marked in your head. And there is no need for that: the recurrent splendor is redolent of memories we never experienced. We sit down and the blast-off takes place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAM1669HvQE The title track is airy, those guitar- filled melodies meander in and out , gleaming with endless scenarios, its offering is vast and actually opened to interpretations. That’s probably the album’s high-grade point: being untied to any particular lineage in its winding. Is it indie? Is it folk? Is it experimental? Ask it to Back on love, that  cycles through his endless arsenal of riffs and honeyed compositions. This indecision, at the end of the day, has long fascinated us: Mr Perris’s unwavering determination proves to be a respected representative of an unmissable watershed record, handsomely remunerated by his talent, that will surely need some sangfroid to be played live. And that will be the toughest challenge: He might be soft landing with his starlit project, but we’re still up in the air errantly floating. https://open.spotify.com/album/65fOQ34V6ljwXCQwlzIjaM?si=a80TFwuCSVW5UZx5Lmvlhw
