Explosions in The Sky

DO NOT READ THIS POST WITHOUT LISTENING TO AT LEAST YOUR HAND IN MINE :)














A special kind of jam. Explosions in the sky is a band that falls under the unique category of Post-Rock. post rock is a hard to define type of music, but if I had a sentence or two to do so it would be music without words that involves intense melodic and ambient sounds. The whole point is to create emotion in the listener and bring something new to the table.Explosions was founded in 1999 by the four musicians from Austin, Texas. Munaf Rayani, Mark Smith, Michael James and Chris Hrasky are still the core members of the band. They have four records and have gained more popularity with each one.
Early on they became known in the underground scene for their live performances and their beautiful melodies. This would serve as the groundwork for the first post-rock band to reach high success ever.
The latest record "The Earth Is Not A Cold Place" had songs featured in "Friday Night Lights" and was a critically acclaimed album. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but take a gander and see if you enjoy it.
