Godspeed You! Black Emperor - “NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD” (2024)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024, 28,340 DEAD is a brooding and intense reflection on global crises, notably inspired by the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. The album is a blend of desolation and hope, conveyed through vast, atmospheric soundscapes and intricate dynamics. Opening with the somber "SUN IS A HOLE SUN IS VAPORS," the album escalates into tracks like "BABYS IN A THUNDERCLOUD," where dramatic crescendos and delicate strings create an emotional pull. The record peaks with the suite of "BROKEN SPIRES AT DEAD KAPITAL" and "PALE SPECTATOR TAKES PHOTOGRAPHS," combining eerie violin, pounding drums, and a powerful sense of dread. The album closes on a cautiously optimistic note, urging persistence in the face of despair(Boolin Tunes)(The Scene - Music, Radio, Zine)(a closer listen).
