SLOW RIOT FOR NEW ZERO KANADA E.P.

One of the best atmospheric albums ever made, and one of the cornerstones of post-rock itself. The second work from Godspeed You! Black Emperor is truly an outstanding EP that perfectly manages to capture the essence of a ravaged and isolated world with its string arrangements, crushing and emotional riffs and beautiful acoustic guitars. There's practically no doubt that their management of atmosphere and emotion is flawless in those two lengthy +10min tracks. Despite coming from a considerably inaccessible band, this extended play is an amazing starting point for anyone who wants to get into more atmospheric music.

Five stars, no doubt!
