Description:

GYBE is back in this world! A devastatingly beautiful and haunting lament, a requiem for the end of the world played by noise-wrapped orchestration, the title album expresses the spirit of anarchist punk as it is, the first new album in almost four years. Their new work, which comes at this time in a world in turmoil, is a massive work completed by interweaving noise-infused orchestration/drones with field recordings and half-improvised parts. The music soars from melancholy phrases to searing noise sounds, and distorted clarion sounds are layered on top of each other. Recorded and mixed by Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes) at Thee Mighty Hotel2Tango studio in Montreal in October 2020. Mixed by Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes) in Montreal.The artwork is reminiscent of early classics such as "Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada" and "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven" and is illustrated by William Schmiechen.
