Explosions in the Sky – Magic Hours
Biography
Austin, United States (1999 – present)
The band quickly gained a reputation for their live shows even amongst other established local bands such as Lift to Experience. They also garnered a small amount of media attention as a result of their second album Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever, due to rumors linking it to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks - The album was released in late August 2001, with liner notes containing a picture of an airplane and the text “This Plane Will Crash Tomorrow”.
“The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place” is their third full-length album (counting “How Strange, Innocence” as their debut, see below). It shows the band has developed their characteristic sound to its full potential and the album has been critically acclaimed.
Friday Night Lights, the football movie based on the book of the same name, featured a soundtrack consisting mostly of songs by Explosions in the Sky, both original (as found on the Friday Night Lights soundtrack ) and from earlier releases. They are also frequently played in the TV-series sharing the name.

@indierock95: if you like it aggressive and gloomy, go for "those who tell the truth shall die, those who tell the truth shall live forever". if you like it peaceful and embracing, go for "the earth is not a cold dead place". if you like it euphoric and epic, go for "all of a sudden I miss everyone". if you like all of it eclectically mixed together, go for "take care, take care, take care". I LOVE each one of them, but "those who tell the truth shall die, [...]" has always been the most important album of EITS for me personally. (admittedly, I haven't listened to "how strange, innocence" so far)

They may be boring, repetitive, derivative, crescendo-core 3rd wave post rock, but I love them.

Вот только и представляю себя, гуляющего по в мертвому постапокалиптическому городу, на подобии НЮ фильма "Я Легенда", а фоном играет Explosions in the Sky
