Our Take

Ah, GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR, the elusive Canadian post-rock collective that never fails to intrigue and captivate. Their latest offering, F#A#∞, is a mesmerising journey through eerie soundscapes, haunting drones, and relentless crescendos that build and build until you feel like you're on the verge of a musical apocalypse.

The album opens with "The Dead Flag Blues," a haunting spoken-word introduction that sets the tone for the apocalyptic journey ahead. As the strings swell and the guitars wail, you can't help but feel like you're being pulled into a dark and twisted carnival of sound.

Tracks like "East Hastings" and "Providence" further explore the band's penchant for creating epic, cinematic landscapes with their music. It's like being trapped in a David Lynch film where the soundtrack is composed by a group of anarchist musicians hell-bent on tearing down the walls of reality.

GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR have never been ones to conform to traditional song structures or expectations, and F#A#∞ is no exception. The album flows seamlessly from one track to the next, creating a sense of urgency and unease that is impossible to ignore.

In conclusion, F#A#∞ is a dark and brooding masterpiece that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music. GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR have once again proven why they are one of the most innovative and influential bands of our time. Sit back, press play, and let the sonic waves wash over you. You won't regret it.
