Our Take

In an age where attention spans are shorter than a TikTok video, Godspeed You! Black Emperor delivers a masterclass in patience and subtlety with their EP "Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada." Clocking in at just over 30 minutes, this two-track wonder is a sonic journey that demands your full attention from start to finish.

Opening with the hauntingly beautiful "Moya," the band sets the tone with a slow-burning crescendo that builds and builds until it feels like your heart might burst. The layers of strings, guitars, and percussion wash over you like a wave, leaving you breathless and mesmerized.

And just when you think you can't take any more intensity, the band kicks it up a notch with "BBF3." This 18-minute opus is a rollercoaster of emotions, with spoken word samples adding an extra layer of intrigue to the already complex musical landscape. It's a testament to the band's skill that they can hold your attention for over 15 minutes without ever feeling like they're dragging.

Overall, "Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada" is a triumph of emotion and restraint. It's not an easy listen, but it's a rewarding one for those willing to give it the time and attention it deserves. Godspeed You! Black Emperor may not be for everyone, but for those who appreciate music that challenges and surprises, this EP is a must-listen.
