Quote
On
first listen, Montreal collective Godspeed You Black Emporer sounds
familiar, like sonic-landscape architects the Dirty Three. But pay
closer attention to this debut full-length and you'll find something
much more compelling: G.Y.B.E. mix found sounds, voices, lilting string
sections, and musique concrète into structures that tell a story. With
each listen, a new plot twist is unraveled, a new movie sample
identified--you start to listen closely with headphones to pick up new
subtleties you couldn't hear previously. Three tracks, a bit over an
hour, of great music that defies categorization.
