Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven is the second LP released by Post-Rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The entire album is composed of internal movements and is noted for its strict instrumental focus, the only exceptions being sampling and Moya singing a depressing hick song.

The album is one of the most famous of its genre and serves as an influence for other strictly instrumental acts such as Explosions in the Sky.

The cover depicts two weird hands. With a cat added, the hands appear to be stroking it.
