Godspeed You Black Emperor - No Title As Of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead (Vinyl)
Canadian post-rock maestros Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced a new album called “No Title As of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead”. Available as double vinyl and CD, it arrives October 4 via Constellation. Below, listen to the album’s nearly seven-minute closing track, “Grey Rubble – Green Shoots,”.
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 in Gaza. 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.”.........
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.
Tracklist:
1 SUN IS A HOLE SUN IS VAPORS
2 BABYS IN A THUNDERCLOUD
3 RAINDROPS CAST IN LEAD
4 BROKEN SPIRES AT DEAD KAPITAL
5 PALE SPECTATOR TAKES PHOTOGRAPHS
6 GREY RUBBLE – GREEN SHOOTS

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
