Godspeed You! Black Emperor announce new album No Title As of 13 February 24 28,340 Dead
Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced a new album. On October 4 the group will release No Title As of 13 February 24 28,340 Dead via Constellation. The title refers to the death toll, as of the date referenced, in Gaza as a result of Israel’s attacks on the region. They’ve shared new track “Grey Rubble – Green Shoots,” which you can hear below. The band have also lined up tour dates in support of the album. See those below.
The group said in a statement:
THE PLAIN TRUTH==
we drifted through it, arguing.
every day a new war crime, every day a flower bloom.
we sat down together and wrote it 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 crueler still.
war is coming.
don’t give up.
pick a side.
hang on.
love.
