NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD
GY!BE mark 30 years since their formation with a monumental new LP expressing feelings on the increasing horrors of Israel’s war on Gaza, as they know best - expansive instrumental post-rock with a torn heart and resonant pathos.
Flocking once again around original member Efrim Menuck (electric guitar and tape loops), Montreal’s pioneering post-rock ensemble catalyse feelings of anger, frustration, love and hope, spurred by the unceasing atrocity of Israel’s Gazan genocide during the winter of bombs 2024. That is mostly inferred from the album’s name, ‘No Title As Of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead’, which, when taken in context of the band’s ongoing focus on anti-war themes, and the palpable passion and emotional cadence of the music from soaring to bleak, is a fair conclusion to make. Like almost anyone, GY!BE are understandably distraught at the news cycle’s daily carousel of hell, received, like most, from a distance. Unlike many, however, they at least attempt to grasp that nettle in a music that transmutes and transmits their feelings on the matter in a form of emotional catharsis as care.
Typically taking their cues from a syncretic blend of kosmiche krautrock, drone and avant rock, and also taking Hebrew klezmer folk as their rock touchstone as much the blues, the 9 piece band move as one in sweeping formations from the bleeding heart electric guitar solo and tense drone bed of ‘Sun Is a Hole Sun Is Vapors’ to a hopeful, in title and tone, quiet-loud-quiet climax and resolution of ‘Grey Rubble - Green Shoots’. Song titles poetically imply their inspiration while the music does the talking on the album’s meat, dialling it right down to wasted scapes that give wings to the strings in ‘Babies In a Thundercloud’ and driven by motorik thrum thru the peaks and exhaustive collapses of ‘Raindrops Cast In Lead’, with a brief, sorrowful lament ‘Broken Spires At Dead Kapital’ paving the way to album highlight ‘Pale Spectator Takes Photographs’ - significant for its clenched consolidation of the elements and heartrending turn of phrase led by Sophie Trudeau’s soaring violin into skin-prickling klezmer melody.
