don’t haunt this place
Some friends were talking about Godspeed You! Black Emperor this last week, a band that I have never listened to (other than knowing that they have one of the best-titled albums ever). Since comparisons to Explosions In The Sky were being made, my interest was of course piqued. Then I watched this haunting, empty video using their song “East Hastings” and it totally changed the way I will forever hear their music. Rarely so perfect of a soundtrack aligns with the visuals…
(you thought the title of this post meant maybe I was writing about Rural Alberta Advantage? Well, that’s coming at some point because I can’t stop listening to their new album while I am drowning in work and taxes and grad school applications and FAFSAs lately. It is surprisingly good accompaniment to all of those things)
