OFF: God Speed You Black Emperor

[Beautiful Foot]

I attest to Andy's reccomendations utterly.
Afer reading his reviews, I bought all their product, then saw GYBE! and
Silver Mt Zion live here in Belfast.
Profound.
Maybe check out Sigur Ros also, not too similar, but they might break your
heart in the same way they did mine.
