Godspeed You! Black Emperor make typically cryptic announcement about new album

Canadian instrumental post-rockers Godspeed You! Black Emperor have released a typically cryptic statement announcing their new album, No Title As Of 13 February 2024, 340 Dead, which they will release through Constellation Records on October 4.

In the statement, the band say:

"THE PLAIN TRUTH==
we drifted through it, arguing.
every day a new war crime, every day a flower bloom.
we sat down together and wrote it in one room,
and then sat down in a different room, recording.
NO TITLE= what gestures make sense while tiny bodies fall? what context? what broken melody?
and then a tally and a date to mark a point on the line, the negative process, the growing pile.
the sun setting above beds of ash
while we sat together, arguing.
the old world order barely pretended to care.
this new century will be crueler still.
war is coming.
don’t give up.
pick a side.
hang on.
love.
GY!BE"

The band have also shared a brand new song, Grey Rubble, Green Shoots, which is available here. No Title As Of 13 February 2024, 340 Dead will be available on vinyl, CD and digital.

Godspeed, who had previously announced tour dates for UK and Europe for September and October and North America for November have also announced further North American dates for April and May 2025.
