Song Recommendation: “BABYS IN A THUNDERCLOUD” by Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Canadian post-rock pioneers Godspeed You! Black Emperor return with another stunning piece of melancholic instrumental grandiosity on their new record, titled NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD. Godspeed have always been staunchly political, and that number references those who have been killed during the devastating and horrific genocide in Gaza. Even conservative estimates suggest that the death toll has nearly doubled some eight months after they presumably finished this record. It’s a powerful piece of work—one that, as always with GY!BE, requires deep listening and patience, but I promise it'll be worth any investment you make. Turn it up and raise a fist.
