Explosions in the Sky Discography


Explosions in the Sky
are an American instrumental post-rock band from Texas. The band has garnered popularity beyond the post-rock scene for their cinematic, elaborately developed guitar work, narratively styled instrumentals, and their enthusiastic and emotional live shows. They primarily play with three electric guitars and a set of drums, while band member Michael James will at times sub out his electric guitar for a bass guitar.

Here is an interesting fact about the band whilst you wait for the downloads;

They garnered a small amount of media attention with 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 9/11 Attacks on The World Trade Center. The band denied any connection in interviews. The album art shows an airplane with the caption "This plane will crash tomorrow." There were false reports that the last track was called "This Plane Will Crash Tomorrow" and that the album was released on September 10th, 2001, the concept had actually originated in 2000, and the album was released on August 27th, 2001. Bassist Michael James was detained in an airport as a threat to security, and had to explain why his guitar contained the words "this plane will crash tomorrow".

Enjoy! :)
