Product Description
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Yanqui U.X.O.
LABEL: Constellation
2002
2 LP black vinyl set pressed on 180g audiophile vinyl and comes in a thick printed gatefold jacket with credits and artwork insert.
U.X.O. is unexploded ordnance is landmines is cluster bombs. Yanqui is post-colonial imperialism is international police state is multinational corporate oligarchy. Godspeed You! Black Emperor is complicit is guilty is resisting. The new album is just raw, angry, dissonant, epic instrumental rock. Recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago and mixed by Howard Bilerman and Godspeed You! Black Emperor at the original Hotel2Tango in Montreal.
Stubborn tiny lights vs. clustering darkness forever ok?
