THE PLAIN TRUTH = we drifted through it, arguing. every day a new war crime, every day a flower bloom. we sat down together and wrote it in one room, and then sat down in a different room, recording. NO TITLE = what gestures make sense while tiny bodies fall? what context? what broken melody? and then a tally and a date to mark a point on the line, the negative process, the growing pile. the sun setting above beds of ash while we sat together, arguing. the old world order barely pretended to care. this new century will be crueler still. war is coming. don’t give up. pick a side. hang on. love. - GY!BE

Godspeed You! Black Emperor (often abbreviated as GY!BE) is a Canadian post-rock band formed in Montreal, Quebec, in 1994. The band is known for its sprawling, cinematic compositions that often extend beyond the 20-minute mark, incorporating a blend of rock, classical, and avant-garde elements. GY!BE's music features a heavy use of guitars, strings, and field recordings, creating a distinctive sound characterized by its melancholic, politically charged atmosphere.

The band initially released their debut album, F♯ A♯ ∞ (1997), which gained a cult following for its epic, atmospheric soundscapes. Their follow-up, Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (2000), solidified their reputation as pioneers of post-rock. After a hiatus from 2003 to 2010, the band reunited and has since released several albums, including 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! (2012) and Luciferian Towers (2017).
