Godspeed You! Black Emperor End Hiatus

In an announcement on their site, 1119732.net, Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced the end of their almost decade-long hiatus. According to their statement, the band will curate this December’s All Tomorrow’s Parties in the UK, aka the “Nightmare Before Christmas,” and play “a handful of British and European towns,” as well as 9 dates in the United States. Also:

after a decade’s retreat, god’s pee has decided to roll again. we are, as always, stoked, stubborn and petrified. it’s been awhile, and left in the rain, the brakes have rusted and seized — we’ll have to go at it with hammers probably, with elbow grease and fury, just like the old days all over again. we look forward to it. also, [Mike] moya’s back in the fold (hallelujah!)

Hallelujah indeed.
