Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Yanqui U.X.O.

Jun 21, 2022 (updated 1d ago)

While pretty, I can’t help but feel like Yanqui has something to offer that I’m just not fully understanding.

Edit: (71 -> 85) removing field recordings from the mix does make this a strange album in the catalogue for sure. It makes this much harder to interpret. However I can’t help but feel like this is one of Godspeeds most ambitious and grand projects. It just seems so cryptic. It has had me listening nonstop the last week.

Neo?

I found my best way to expiernce a godspeed record in not clicking with is. Listen to it at a time where you feel emotions are just entering your brain absent of words. Like youre in a stateof openess. Then listen

This is exactly how I feel like with Yanqui U.X.O. It's certainly an odd album in Godspeed's discography

Brad doesn't get it. What a surprise! I knew that Yankee U.F.O. - this profound masterpiece about the Fall of the Roman Empire would fly over your head lol. I thought losers like you only existed in movies, but here's one in real life
