Artist Biography
The instrumental multimedia Montreal group Godspeed You! Black Emperor create extended, repetition-oriented chamber rock. The minimal and patient crescendo building of the band's compositions results in a meditative and hypnotic listen that becomes narrative-like when combined with found-sound splices and the films of their visual collaborators. First appearing during the late 1990s, the group's breakthrough came with 2000's majestic double-album Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, which received widespread praise and has endured as an underground classic. After a lengthy hiatus, during which the group's members concentrated on numerous other projects, GY!BE returned with 2012's 'ALLELUJAH! DON'T BEND! ASCEND! and continued releasing funereal yet optimistic full-lengths like 2021's G_d's Pee AT STATE'S END!
