Feature by News Team | 24 Feb 2015

Canadian post-rockers Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced their new album Asunder, Sweet And Other Distress, due for release on 31 March.

The new album is the band’s first single LP release in nearly two decades, featuring four brand-new compositions – listen to an excerpt from lead track Peasantry or 'Light! Inside of Light!' below. Asunder... is the follow-up to the band's critically-acclaimed album Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!, one of our music writers' favourite albums of 2012.

Godspeed… will play a series of UK shows in April; at Manchester’s Albert Hall on 17 Apr, Glasgow ABC on 19 Apr, and Shepherds Bush Empire in London on 20 Apr. They have also been confirmed for this summer’s ATP Iceland festival, alongside Belle and Sebastian, Run the Jewels and an eclectic host of big names.

Asunder, Sweet And Other Distress is out on 31 Mar via Constellation Records.
