Having emerged from hiatus at the end of 2010 GYBE undeniably picked up right where they left off immediately recapturing the sound and material that had fallen dormant in 2003 and driving it forward with every show of their extensive touring over the last 18 months The new album presents the fruits of that labour evolved and definitive versions of two huge new compositions previously known to fans as Albanian and Gamelan now properly titled as Mladic and We Drift Like Worried Fire respectively Accompanied by the new drones stitched into the album sequence on CD cut separately on their own 7 for the LP version GYBE have offered up a fifth album that is absolutely as vital virulent honest and heavy as anything in their discography

LEGENDARY INSTRUMENTAL ROCK BAND RETURNS WITH FIRST ALBUM IN 10 YEARS Touring Europe in Nov A decade has passed since the release of Yanqui UXO the last album by Godspeed You Black Emperor Never a band to pay heed to industry wisdom Yanqui was released shortly before xmas 2002 with little publicity no press availability no marketing plans crosspromotions or brand synergies adorned with now infamous back cover artwork diagramming the links between major record labels and the militaryindustrial complex Like all GYBE albums this one did just fine and found it s audience a passionate and committed fanbase galvanized by the groups sonic vision and its dedication to unmediated unsullied musical communication That such simple principles and goals have become harder to maintain and enact a decade later is an understatement For all the contents and discontents for all the content of our present cultural moment the idea of circumventing the glare of exposure or sidestepping the careful plotting of media cycles and identity management seems profoundly illadvised if not futile But Godspeed is looking to try all the same The band wants people to encounter and care about this new album without telling people they should They seek to preserve the thrill of anonymous and uncalculated transmission knowing full well that these days antistrategy risks being tagged as a strategy nonmarketing framed as its opposite and deeply held principles they consider fundamental to health as likely to be interpreted as just another form of stealth The band has been carving its own path again since 2010 regrouping as the same selfmanaged collective entity it has been from the outset making appearances at a tiny clutch of music festivals and otherwise just touring its own shows Its been a disorienting time to resurface but it has felt overwhelmingly right honest and good We think Godspeed has made a new record that maintains if not exceeds the standards of their previous work a high bar many would agree GYBE picked up right where they left off and after almost two years of practicing playing and touring Allelujah Dont Bend Ascend Delivers two mighty sides of music bookended by two new drones that the band had been working up prior to their 2003 hiatus which they have now shaped into something definitively stunning immersive and utterly true to their legacy The future looks dark indeed but on the evidence of this new recording Godspeed appears wholly committed to staring it down channeling it and fighting for some rays of sound and flickers of light that feel righteous unflinching hopeful and pure
