Rejoice, for Godspeed You! Black Emperor<\/a> are back. The Montreal post-rock collective released their widely acclaimed and Polaris Prize-winning album Allelujah! Don\u2019t Bend! Ascend!<\/em> in 2012, after a long 10-year hiatus. Luckily, we don’t have to wait that long as the band have just announced their sixth full-length album, Asunder, Sweet And Other Distress<\/em>. Described as “arguably the most focused and best-sounding recording of the band’s career”, the new album was in the works for the last couple of years, which the help of sound engineer Greg Norman. According to the album’s blurb, “Asunder, Sweet And Other Distress finds Godspeed in top form; a sterling celebration of the band’s awesome dialectic, where composition, emotion and ‘note-choice’ is inextricable from an exacting focus on tone, timbre, resonance and the sheer materiality of sound.”
