Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced that their newest album will be called G_d’s Pee AT STATE’S END!, and it’ll be out on 02 Apr 2021. The band has made a statement about the album:
we wrote it on the road mostly. when that was still a place.
and then recorded it in masks later, distanced at the beginning of the second wave.
it was autumn, and the falling sun was impossibly fat and orange.
we tried to summon a brighter reckoning there,
bent beneath varied states of discomfort, worry and wonderment.
– xoxoxox god’s pee
