Explosions in the Sky
Experimental Austin, TX |
Billboard
Explosions in the Sky was formed in Austin, Texas in 1999, originally called Breaker Morant. They quickly gained a reputation for themselves; their label, Temporary Residence Limited, signed the band on the strength of its demo after only half a listen, which was submitted by fellow Austin band The American Analog Set with a brief note saying "This totally fucking destroys."
They 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 attacks, a rumor the band denied in interviews. The album art shows an airplane with the caption "This plane will crash tomorrow." The rumor arose that the album was released on September 10, 2001, adding to its coincidental mystique, though this rumor is incorrect. The concept for the album art originated in 2000, and the album was released August 27, 2001.
Explosions in the Sky have finished recording their next album, All of a Sudden, I Miss Everyone. It features six songs and artwork again by Esteban Rey. The band recorded the album in Minnesota in August 2006 with John Congleton. The album is due for release in February 2007 as both a one-disc version and a two-disc special edition featuring remixes by artists such as Eluvium and Adem.

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov) Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany! Happy new year! Feel free to download my music!
