GY!BE return with another soundtrack for our current difficult times. The somewhat anarcho-punk-ish album title implies raw power and intensity with two 20 min pieces of massive and brain-crawling widescreen post-rock - carried by building and soundwalling basslines and violin melody arcs. Field recordings, improvised interludes and sound snippets intensify it all - joined by two 6-minute pieces full of drone, crescendo and layers of distortion, which, as always, make up the unique something of GY!BE.
G_d's Pee AT STATE'S END internalizes and encompasses every aspect of the band's 25 year history. As usual, it was recorded and mixed by Jace Lasek (Besnard Lakes) at their homebase studio Thee Mighty Hotel2Tango in Montreal in October 2020. In terms of cover artwork, the band has gone back to the very sparse, monochromatic photos and graphics of their early works, while still picking up on individual icons. This is also how GY!BE work live, their concerts are legendary and complex. They take you on a dream world/head cinema journey with their ingenious Super 8 film projector visuals - as seen at the album listening premiere, which was deliberately not streamed live as a band performance, but took place with live visuals in an empty theater in Montreal with their message: OUR SIDE HAS TO WIN.
