Explosions in the Sky – It's Natural To Be Afraid
Tags
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.

And "take care..." has been overhyped as hell

It's taken me almost 10 years, but I finally realize just how overrated EITS has become--they haven't created anything worth listening to since 'cold dead place'. I've been trapped in the postrock bubble for so long i forgot how fresh the air is outside! --- I agree with that. But, just a EITS meldy in the middle of the day, without a warn... It's alway a good trick.

I want to thank God for such bands as Explosions in the sky and such songs as Your hand in mine

i think take care, take care, take care is their best album or at least it's better than the earth is not a cold dead place. why am i the only person who sees that? cold dead place is overrated and take care is a forgotten gem. how sad

@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)
