Godspeed You! Black Emperor • "Luciferian Towers" • LP package from Constellation Records on Vimeo.

成軍超過二十年的加拿大後搖滾霸主 GY!BE 是永遠的嚴峻代表，他們強而有力的多人陣容，動不動就是超過十分鐘的長篇巨幅，譜出的樂句沒有半點廢話，像鬼神般的巨大，在這裡沒有懂或不懂，虔誠的體驗就會得到。 (word by William)

1. UNDOING A LUCIFERIAN TOWERS – look at that fucking skyline! big lazy money writ in dull marble obelisks! imagine all those buildings much later on, hollowed out and stripped bare of wires and glass, listen- the wind is whistling through all 3,000 of its burning window-holes!

2. BOSSES HANG – labor, alienated from the wealth it creates, so that holy cow, most of us live precariously! kicking at it, but barely hanging on! also – the proud illuminations of our shortened lives! also – more of us than them! also – what we need now is shovels, wells, and barricades!

3. FAM / FAMINE – how they kill us = absentee landlord, burning high-rise. the loud panics of child-policemen and their exploding trigger-hands. with the dull edge of an arbitrary meritocracy. neglect, cancer maps, drone strike, famine. the forest is burning and soon they ll hunt us like wolves.

4. ANTHEM FOR NO STATE – kanada, emptied of its minerals and dirty oil. emptied of its trees and water. a crippled thing, drowning in a puddle, covered in ants. the ocean doesnt give a shit because it knows its dying too.
