"Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven" is a landmark double album by the Canadian post-rock collective Godspeed You! Black Emperor, released on CD by Kranky. This ambitious record consists of four sprawling tracks that blend orchestral arrangements, atmospheric soundscapes, and field recordings to create an immersive listening experience. The album is celebrated for its emotional depth and cinematic scope, often regarded as one of the most influential works in experimental rock music. Godspeed You! Black Emperor formed in Montreal in 1994 and quickly became known for their politically charged compositions and powerful live performances. Their critically acclaimed discography includes albums like "F? A? ?" and "Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!" which have cemented their reputation as pioneers of the genre. Kranky, founded in Chicago in 1993, has established itself as a leading independent label specializing in ambient, experimental, and post-rock releases from innovative artists worldwide.
Operatic in scope, fiercely (sometimes annoyingly) conceptual but never less than an all-round mind-blowing listen. Someone said just right - "it is clear GSYBE are trying to say something, its just not clear what"
