After reuniting for a tour last year, post-rock titans Godspeed You! Black Emperor may, in fact, be working on new material. The band had previously made no mention of a new album, but in a recent interview with Montreal-based mag Voir, Bruce Cawdon says the band may indeed be writing a follow-up to 2002's Yanqui U.X.O. Cawdon said the band would have a more formal meeting about releasing new material after their current run of tour dates in July.
