Godspeed You! Black Emperor Talk About Hiatus.

Efrim Menuck, frontman for Godspeed You! Black Emperor, finally talked about the band's 6 year hiatus. The following quote is from his Drowned in Sound interview:

"On a personal level I now find [Godspeed You! Black Emperor] to be inappropriate [to do]. There’s a complicated back story. I reached a point whereby I was no longer willing to contribute to the steering of the ship; it was like, ‘Okay now, someone else point the direction, I love all of you, but I need to ride shotgun for a while.'"

Menuck then explained what he really meant to Pitchfork Media:

"The Drowned in Sound thing is a misquote, I'm in the middle of dealing with it now. It's true, Godspeed hasn't existed for years, we've been on permanent hiatus since 2002. If and when we do call it quits permanently, it won't be because of the Iraq war."
