Godspeed You! Black Emperor

This is a really awesome band based out of Montreal. All their stuff is mostly instrumental with lots of string instruments and such. Wikipedia labels them as "post-rock" but I don't even know what that's supposed to be :smirk:

Here's a few samples, anyway. My two favorite songs of theirs. This first one is called "Moya".

GYBE is fucking sweet! But they can be kind of depressing sometimes.

This one is called "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven"

Awesome build-up, through the entire song.

I don't find any music really depressing, but I can understand what you mean with GYBE. A lot of their music has that melancholic undertone to it.

I can't stand it personally. It's way too drawn out. Drives me nuts. Especially after listening to some speed metal, or something. I simply can't be that patient with my music. It's like ok... you've been holding the same note for 3 minutes.. time for something different.. then a snare hit.. then 5 more minutes of the same note.. ok that's an exaggeration but you know what I mean.

My brother got to see them in concert once, in Detroit. He said it was a pretty bizarre show because they had the entire stage barely lit - you could barely see any of the band members at all. My bro said it was because they reject the idea that people would come to a show to see them instead of hear the music. I like how they think :wink:

They're a very anti-corporate band, and reject the notion of "fame" from their work entirely. They hardly ever do interviews (I've never seen/read one). They even allow you to bring a recorder to their shows and record the whole thing - no such thing as a GYBE "bootleg".

I would kill to see GYBE live, but they rarely play.

Please buy their albums if you like them. They refuse to sign to major labels or distribution channels for ethical reasons.

Well that's cool ethics. I'm still not crazy about their music though :grin:

Yeah man. I got the chance to see Silver Mt. Zion live a couple months back, and I didn't even have to kill anyone to do it. It was one of the best live music performances I've ever seen.

they kick ass...or did anyways. they broke up i think. there are some bands out there that sort of remind me of them though, such as explosions in the sky and certain mogwai songs.

as for it being a bit depressing, to me it is. but it's also beautiful as well. some people listen to it and think it's depressing and some listen to it and think it's beautiful or pretty. it just depends i guess.

i have the uxo album, is that the only one? i like it but i always wind up falling asleep to it, which is fine because it is very relaxing and i dont mind having the music guide my dream a little.
