Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced a new album called “No Title as of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead”. It arrives October 4 via Constellation. Below, listen to the album’s nearly seven-minute closing track, “Grey Rubble – Green Shoots,” and find the band’s upcoming tour dates.

The title of “No Title as of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead” refers to a death toll of Palestinians, as reported by Gaza’s Health Ministry, in Israel’s war against Hamas. (More than 40,000 Palestinians have now been killed in the war in Gaza, according to the ministry.) In a statement with the album announcement, available in full below, the Canadian post-rock band said, “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.”

“No Title as of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead” follows the 2021 Godspeed You! Black Emperor studio album G_d’s Pee at State’s End!

Godspeed You! Black Emperor:

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
