Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Slow Riot for New Zerø Kanada

This was an EP released by the now possibly defunct Canadian Post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor (GYBE). I'm saying that because the band went on haitus in 2003, but never confirmed a break up. But six years is long enough to say they broke up for sure. Now the band are often labeled a Post-rock band, despite their objections, okay, I think they're Post-rock to be honest. But who cares? The Canadian Post-rock scene is dead, Post-rock is obsolete, its something we can only look back to and remember, wtf, I only discovered Post-rock after the style had faded in 2008, the bands had either disbanded or became a lot more conventional.

Tracklist:

1. Moya
2. Blaise Bailey Finnegan III

trivia: A section of track 2 steals lines from an the song Virus by Iron Maiden.

Mediafire.
