Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

AMAZON
With no vocals (the closest they get is spoken word samples) God Speed You Black Emperor let the music speak for itself. The two CDs which make up Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven divide into four compositions (each about 20 minutes long) that see a continuation of GSYBE's orchestral exploration of space rock, utilising instruments such as violins, cellos and French horns along with the rock standard guitars. These are used to create richly woven and layered music which rises into dramatic crescendos and--when combined with subtle percussion and feedback--falls back into ambient soundscapes. This enables God Speed You Black Emperor's music to have a narrative, cinematic feel as it moves between intense emotions like anxiety, loneliness and anger, often within a single track. For some this is a weakness in Lift Your Skinny Fists., making it more fragmented than Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada--it is clear GSYBE are trying to say something, its just not clear what. For others however, this is their beauty. --Caroline Butler
