G_d’s Pee AT STATE’S END ! méthodiquement constitué autour de pièces autonomes, ressemble, à si méprendre, à un scénario de dramaturgie contemporaine en 8 actes, une histoire dont nous sommes évidemment les acteurs silencieux et les spectateurs aliénés. Une mise en scène, en sons et accessoirement en perspective d'une tragédie humaine, écrite autour des agissements de laborantins serviles, renonçants, aux frontières du désastre, à l'ultime conscience, inféodés au délire, psychose paranoïaque en n'en pas douter. Ce septième album de Godspeed You! Black Emperor est la très belle bande originale d'un film qui ne devrait jamais être tourné. Il est, malheureusement, en cours de réalisation.

"... waiting for the end" Our favourite Montreal collective is very nice, but I can't see us waiting for the apocalypse, a theme dear to the thoughts and inspirations of Efrim Menuck, a worthy admission of those who "... wait for the beginning", without having to uncross their arms and, insisting, GY!BE adds: "... empty the prisons, take the power from the police and give it back to the neighbourhoods they terrorise. Put an end to these eternal wars and all forms of imperialism. Tax the rich until they are impoverished" a vast programme and inventive philosophical intention addressed to those who observe our daily world through the prism of a rectangle, of cellulose, sky blue, obstructing our mouths, our bodies and our emotions - degraded mode.
G_d's Pee AT STATE'S END! methodically constituted around autonomous pieces, resembles, to a certain extent, a scenario of contemporary drama in 8 acts, a story in which we are obviously the silent actors and the alienated spectators. A staging, in sounds and incidentally in perspective of a human tragedy, written around the actions of servile laboratory workers, renouncing, on the borders of disaster, to the ultimate consciousness, subservient to delirium, paranoid psychosis in no doubt. This Godspeed You! Black Emperor's seventh album is the beautiful soundtrack to a film that should never be made. Unfortunately, it is currently being.
