I’d like to hear from anyone fortunate enough to see this music live. It seems they’ve played everywhere but here, so it looks like I’ll have to go to them - maybe on a long winter drive through Canada…
But about the musicians. The anthem sounds of Godspeed, You Black Emperor! speak an exact language of rock which I am thankful to experience. They balance warmth and catastrophe with most of their songs, sometimes taking the upper curve and ending with a bright moment. Other than Godspeed, I’ve personally never heard a “song” that resonates so well with the world as I see it, the way many see it: small but here, and making great noises.
Godspeed fans please check in.
