Godspeed You! Black Emperor

The car is on fire. And there's no driver at the wheel. And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides...


This is the debut album of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and a pioneering post-rock release. Godspeed are probably the most influential band of the genre and this album makes it clear why. F#A#∞ (F Sharp, A Sharp, Infinity) contains three compositions, broken down into movements. The music is interspersed with recorded narratives speaking of the coming apocalypse and the apparent corruption of America's government. The music itself is full of beauty and emotion, building from hushed silence, to atmospheric ambience to moving crescendo and back again.
