Originally released on Constellation in 2002, Yanqui U.X.O. is Godspeed You! Black Emperor's first album recorded outside of their native Canada. Free of the group's signature field recordings and movements, Yanqui U.X.O. is just raw, angry, dissonant, epic instrumental rock. Recorded and produced by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago and mixed by Howard Bilerman and Godspeed You! Black Emperor at the original Hotel2Tango in Montreal. Following the release of the album, the band went on a decade hiatus, returning in 2012 with Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
