About this album

Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (also known as Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! and Levez Vos Skinny Fists Comme Antennas to Heaven) is a 2000 double album released by the Canadian post-rock group Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The four tracks on Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven are composed of individually named internal movements. The whole album is instrumental, except for sampled voice inserts. The inner panels of the vinyl edition released by Constellation contain a diagram used to illustrate the relative lengths of movements within the four tracks; each movement is drawn, by Efrim Menuck, as a rectangular block with its length determined by the proportion of the track it comprises. Some of the blocks are shifted slightly upwards to show an increase in intensity. The movement title and the numerical length are denoted either above or below the square. The same diagram is provided as a paper insert in the CD edition from Kranky.

    this album goes thru all of life, Storm of birth, Static of childhood, sadness of growing, prophet of hope, old age and nostalgia and desire to sleep. And eventually we are all just like ants, teeny and helpless and reaching our broken baby antennas toward the heavens in hope of something greater to just take us away.. We only reach any sort of symphony of hope and humanity by looking to the dark sky together.

    Post-Rock emperors for ever. This is so unreal and psychedelic sometimes.

    one time my friend was bench pressing and i was spotting him and he was trying to push the weight up so i told him "Lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven" and he couldn't stop laughing so i had to pull the weight off of him the moral of the story is you can't trust the system
