Despite hardly anything of note happening to planet Earth lately, the return of Canada’s preeminent-underground-anarcho-post-rock-10-piece outfit should be received with no small amount of urgency. G_d’s Pee, which was recorded in autumn, when "the falling sun was impossibly fat and orange," finds Godspeed galvanizing the archetypal elements of their previous work (drone, field recording, more layers than a February cold-snap) with an intangible-something briefly touched-on in 2017’s Luciferian Towers: hope. The steady erosion of time is enough to make a cynic out of us all. There’s great comfort in knowing the most consistently dour group in modern music can still find the light of a supposedly dying sun. Are they worn down? Likely. Tired? Not so much. G_d’s Pee, contrary to the hilariously childish title, is dense with its own gravity. In their own words: these are death-times and our side has to win.
