Goodbye Enemy Airship the Landlord Is Dead is the second studio album by the Canadian post-rock band Do Make Say Think. It was released on March 13, 2000 in Europe and March 23, 2000 worldwide. [3] The record was published through the influential Montreal-based record label, Constellation Records.
"The Apartment Song" and "Goodbye Enemy Airship", were recorded in 1998 at CIUT-FM studios at the University of Toronto, the same place where the group's eponymous debut album was recorded. [3] The remaining songs were recorded in 1999 at a barn near Port Hope, Ontario owned by keyboardist Jason McKenzie's grandparents. The venue imbued the record with a lofty, nighttime ambiance complete with crickets chirping. [4]
The album was shortlisted for the Polaris Heritage Prize at the 2025 Polaris Music Prize. [5]
