“NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD”

by Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Muy probablemente no sea su mejor disco. Ni siquiera uno de los mejores de este año.
Pero es un disco de GY!BE y, por tanto, desde el principio, tenia un hueco asegurado en mi 2024.
A mi, personalmente, me encanta. Coincide, que estoy en un periodo personal un poco lúgubre. Cansado de algunas cosas, enfadado por otras y muy sobrepasado por una realidad que me resulta insondable. Emociones, todas ellas, muy presentes en este disco que me sirve, a la vez, de BSO y como excusa para vehicularlo todo.
Raindrops Cast in Leads, es uno de los temas que ya significan 2024.

GY!BE’s 8th full length album is a beautiful prayer for hope. The atrocities that are happening to the people of Gaza for the last year has been absolutely enraging and painful to witness. Lots of moments in this album do a great job invoking these feelings by holding these long drones and deep, dynamic, and winding passages that Godspeed has been known for for the last 25 years, and the result of these have been the best since probably their comeback in 2012. Really really enjoyed this album from front to back seriously an incredible album from an even more incredible band.

hello darkness my old friend

my rational brain: man what do you expect me to do, interpret this shit? i mean i can tell from the titles that it's saying something about Palestine, but the music itself? i dunno if i'm up to the task

my monkey brain: ooh ooh ah ah sound make me have feeling
