Godspeed You ! Black Emperor brengt nieuwe plaat naar Vorst

U kon het al eerder vernemen via allerhande geruchten, maar het machtige Godspeed You ! Black Emperor heeft nu ook officieel de komst van het album 'Luciferian Towers' bevestigd. We geven u hieronder alle details.


Godspeed You! Black Emperor • Luciferian Towers • LP package from Constellation Records on Vimeo.

Die release, de opvolger van het in 2015 verschenen 'Asunder, Sweet And Other Distress' mag op 22 september verwacht worden via Constellation Records en gaat gepaard met een uitgebreide tournee doorheen de States en Europa (met een halte in Brussel !). 

Hieronder kan u de hele toelichting (!), het artwork (!!) en de tracklist vinden. 

this, this long-playing record, a thing we made in the midst of communal mess, raising dogs and children. eyes up and filled with dreadful joy – we aimed for wrong notes that explode, a quiet muttering amplified heavenward. we recorded it all in a burning motorboat.

(context as follows:)

1 UNDOING A LUCIFERIAN TOWERS – look at that fucking skyline! big lazy money writ in dull marble obelisks! imagine all those buildings much later on, hollowed out and stripped bare of wires and glass, listen- the wind is whistling through all 3,000 of its burning window-holes!

2 BOSSES HANG – labor, alienated from the wealth it creates, so that holy cow, most of us live precariously! kicking at it, but barely hanging on! also – the proud illuminations of our shortened lives! also – more of us than them! also – what we need now is shovels, wells, and barricades!

3 FAM / FAMINE – how they kill us = absentee landlord, burning high-rise. the loud panics of child-policemen and their exploding trigger-hands. with the dull edge of an arbitrary meritocracy. neglect, cancer maps, drone strike, famine. the forest is burning and soon they’ll hunt us like wolves.

4 ANTHEM FOR NO STATE – kanada, emptied of its minerals and dirty oil. emptied of its trees and water. a crippled thing, drowning in a puddle, covered in ants. the ocean doesn’t give a shit because it knows it’s dying too.

finally and in conclusion; the “luciferian towers” L.P. was informed by the following grand demands:

an end to foreign invasions

an end to borders

the total dismantling of the prison-industrial complex

healthcare, housing, food and water acknowledged as an inalienable human right

the expert fuckers who broke this world never get to speak again

much love to all the other lost and wondering ones,
