Explosions in the Sky
How Strange Innocence (Reissue)
Temporary Residence Ltd.
Grade: A
The only thing you need to know about How Strange Innocence is that you should buy it immediately and without delay! The seven-track record was the first for Explosions in the Sky – a band just starting out from Midland, TX and on route to Austin. Most know the blessed history of how Explosions has become the best instrumental rock band in the world through their Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever and The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place records. (Millions more have been subconsciously made Explosion fans through the band providing the soundtrack to Friday Night Lights). How Strange Innocence was initially a couple hundred CDRs, then later a couple hundred vinyl records and now with the deft mastering hand of John Golden, TRL gives the world the first vision of this gorgeous Texas outfit. While clearly not as smooth as later production, the brilliance is evident and in many respects the dirtier rock places How Strange Innocence at least on the same level as Explosions other releases. If you have any sense about you, get this now. If you want to be the coolest kid/man/woman/dog/cat/marsupial you know then pick this up today. Goosebumps of goodness are guaranteed!
