GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR released a string of albums from 1997-2002 widely recognized as redefining what protest music can be, where longform instrumental chamber rock compositions of immense feeling and power serve as soundtracks to late capitalist alienation and resistance. Following a seven-year hiatus that began in 2003, Godspeed returned to the stage in December 2010 and the band’s post-reunion period has now lasted over a decade, marked by hundreds of sold-out live performances and five additional albums, all of which have been met with high acclaim.

Montreal producer KEE AVIL combines guitar, voice, and electronic production to forge deconstructed songs informed by a distinctive amalgam of post-industrial, avant-pop, glitch, minimalist, and experimental folk sensibilities.
