Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut solo project from Godspeed You! Black Emperor drummer Aidan Girt features a confrontational blend of heavy breakbeats and politically charged field recordings. 'Droopy Butt Begone!' utilizes aggressive sampling techniques to critique global capitalism and police militarization. The recording serves as a rhythmic departure from the post-rock foundations of Girt's primary ensemble, leaning heavily into the aesthetics of early 2000s electronic subversion.
