Listened: Friday June 18
Explosions in the Sky is a great name for this band Woody introduced me to. That’s what their music sounds like – beautiful explosions in the sky.
EITS is very dreamy, ambient, and dramatic rock music with no lyrics. They’re reasonably famous for being used as mood music on TV shows like Friday Night Lights. It’s also great driving music.
Hearing this reminds me of when Woody and I first were going out, since it was one of the first CDs he shared with me, so it elicits very positive feelings when I hear it.
A fave band of mine. They may be too popular now for small venues, which is a bit sad, but still worth catching live, if possible.
I have great memories of seeing them at Bottom of the Hill and Cafe du Nord. Winter and raining heavily both times, so I always associate them with the rain and cold.
