Godspeed You! Black Emperor have a new album on the way.
The six-track No Title As Of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead is the Canadian post-rock group’s first studio record since 2021’s G_d’s Pee At State’s End! The new album will be released across digital, CD and vinyl formats.
To mark its announcement, the band have shared closing track ‘Grey Rubble – Green Shoots’, which you can listen to below.
They have also shared a lengthy accompanying statement, which reads: “We drifted through it, arguing. Every day a new war crime, every day a flower bloom. We sat down together and wrote in one room, and then sat down in a different room, recording.
“NO TITLE = what gestures make sense while tiny bodies fall? What context? What broken melody? And then a tally and a date to mark a point on the line, the negative process, the growing pile. The sun setting above beds of ash, while we sat together, arguing.
“The old world order barely pretended to care. This new century will be crueller still. War is coming. Don’t give up. Pick a side. Hang on. Love.”
Constellation will release No Title As Of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead on October 4, 2024.
