Explosions.

I recently purchased this album:

The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place. Incase you didn't already notice.

By Explosions In The Sky.
It's absolutely amazing. I've known them for a while, my friend Vanessa introduced them to me ages ago but the only songs I heard from them where on their myspace. I've been planning on buying their album for a while but I completely forgot, and the other day Vanessa brought them up just for a second and that reminded me! There was this one song 'Your Hand In Mine' which I immediately fell in love with and I didn't know which album it was on, so when I walked into JB to buy it, there were two albums, neither which had the track listing on it and I didn't know which to buy! So I picked the cheaper option [trying to save my money] and it turns out it was on there! That made me happy.

I love how there are only 5 songs on the album, however they are all 8-10mins long. This band is instrumental incase you didn't already know, and their music never gets old. It sounds like running. You know the whole running through a field all free or whatever. Either that or again flying. Either way it's all absolutely beautiful and definitely worth listening to.

I also love their artwork. I'm pretty sure the album I bought was their 3rd, this would be the artwork for their first.

Their website and myspace are based on the same theme and I love it, especially the clouds =]
So thanks to Vanessa for telling me about them and all their wonderfulness.
