Explosions In The Sky

Overview

I like whimsical, elongated names for things, ya know, they aren't just fireworks I can hear, they are explosions in the sky. Ooooh.

The Explosions In The Sky in question are in fact an experimental group reigning from Texas, home of non-experimental country music. The post-rock foursome are known for their super-long instrumentals and emotional live shows. And they don't make people emotional in a Beatles frenzy sort of way either – these sprawling tracks actually hit deep into your soul.

Before you dismiss Explosions In The Sky for being a boring band, you probably should give them a chance. You may have already given them a chance without knowing – they could've slipped into your subconscious if you have ever been inclined to watch the TV show, Friday Night Lights. After my first listen to 'Your Hand In Mine', I felt extremely calm. Perhaps seeing Explosions In The Sky is just what you need if you really want to find peace within yourself. Meaning of life: contemplated.
