I kind of opened this expecting you to review The Eraser and Bodysong. That album is sick, well as sick as a post-rock album can be.

Valley of the Giants - S/T (2004)

As I steamrolled my way through the myriad of Godspeed You! Black Emperor side projects, I came across this gem. And by gem I mean piece of perfection. The band is comprised of several members of prominent experimental and post rock bands. This is their only release to date.

The album itself is mostly instrumental, consisting of 8 tracks, two of them with vocals, 6 instrumental, and one, well... I'll get to it. There is a very acoustic, and warm feeling to the album despite it being a post rock album. A middle-eastern/African influence is very prominent and very refreshing. The most memorable track would be "Whaling Tale," which I can only describe as "The Dead Flag Blues" but with penguins

To be quite frank, this is the best album I've gotten a hold of in months. Get it.

10/10
