Godspeed You! Black Emperor Release New Album G_d’s Pee AT STATE’S END!: Stream
Canadian post-rock outfit Godspeed You! Black Emperor return today with their new album G_d’s Pee AT STATE’S END!. Stream it below via Bandcamp. Whereas the band’s previous album, 2017’s Luciferian Towers, went without ambient interludes in favor of softer climaxes, this follow-up effort sees GY!BE turning crackling analog sounds into inescapable thunderstorms. The album is fixated on unease, anxiety, paranoia, and the long space of time that occurs when you’re waiting for what’s next — ideally something better — in life. “this record is about all of us waiting for the end,” the band wrote in a statement. “all current forms of governance are failed. this record is about all of us waiting for the beginning, and is informed by the following demands= empty the prisons take power fro...

He’s ma...

Oneohtrix Point Never made his television debut by delivering a psychedelic performance of “I Don’t Love Me Anymore” on Friday’s night episode of The Tonight Show.The track is a highlight from his new album Magic Oneohtrix Point Never. As has become custom in pandemic times, the performance looked like a cross between a late-night set and a music video. Daniel Lopatin and his bandmates played the song in front of a colorful backdrop of lush greenery and otherworldly lights, and Lopatin even donned a guitar in addition to his synth for this shoegazy tune. That part wasn’t out of the ordinary for live performances, but the set was interspersed with footage of bleak cityscapes and the lyrics of the song popped up on the screen as they would in a lyric video. The experimentation with the ...
