about

Hong Kong, 2020 – the world has its eyes riveted on the screen, following the protests as the movement surges the city streets like a human tsunami, and gain worldwide human rights support.

Meanwhile, somewhere in a Montreal basement, a deep and powerful rumbling makes itself heard. Something is fomenting and reaches out far and wide to its network of conspirators: The Great Russian Empire (TGRE), a post-rock collective with two bass players (and strictly no guitarists), is ready to launch its latest musical manifest upon the audiosphere.

The Yellowbird And The Umbrella is an artistic response to the mass assault of television and global media coverage. Building on the positive response that its previous EP Low Ends received in 2017, TGRE strikes back in 2020. The Yellowbird and the Umbrella is an instrumental indie post-rock EP packed in action, tense climax, and colourful arrangements. On this brand new offering, music and groove take over the moniker delivering abstract resistance to whom knows how to listen.

The Great Russian Empire has never been more alive and contemporary.
