Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced their first album in over a decade, ALLELUJAH! DON’T BEND! ASCEND!. This comes after a few reunion tour dates, which included a performance at Pitchfork, which I attended.
This is their first album of new material since Yanqui U.X.O., which came out in 2002. The album comes out October 16 via Constellation. Fans of the band are already able to buy the album at their shows. Apparently two tracks are 20 minutes long, and the other 2 are 6 minutes. Heavy listening, indeed.
The album art is posted above. Find the tracklist below.
01 MLADIC
02 THEIR HELICOPTERS’ SING
