Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven

Out of laziness, we could classify Gospeed You Black Emperor! in the post-rock category, but the label would not be enough to represent the real dimension of the music of this Canadian group. Dematerialized, conceived as long journeys in sound galaxies, The four long movements of this disc take the ear far from melodies and earthly sound markers. Orchestral rock, space-rock, ambient, musique concrète, psychedelia: Godspeed's music crosses each genre without stopping. Violins, pianos , Theremin and guitars intertwine with spoken texts, samples of radio reports, calls of fog horns and passing trains.
Radical and extreme, GBYE! invites you on a mystical trip into a gallery of sounds where space gradually fills and intensity grows crescendo to explode in bundles of energy. A magical and terrifying record, claustrophobic and enlightened, relaxing and disturbing.
