I have never heard Explosions in the Sky, but had a semi distracted viewing of Friday Night Lights last weekeknd, and no matter how distracted I was I usually perked up when the music soundtrack came on..."hmmm" thought I, "sounds like GYBE!, can't be...could it?" But the credits didn't list them . My intrepid internet search techniques turned up these Explosions in the Sky dudes. OK, long winded way of asking how these guys stack up. So, how do they stack up?
I actually did burn it and massage it a little more and gave a copy to one of my work buddies so I'll make one for you too. Not any artwork, at least not right now. Maybe I'll whip something up. Turned out to be a very nice comp.

Anyway, Explosions In The Sky sounds much like prime Mogwai, which means very very good stuff. Not exactly the same formula, but much the same results. I think Dusty posted about it on Tuesday too. Maybe nobody has talked about it as well? Don't know. But I do know that me like. That "First Breath After Coma" is the opening track on their album, and it's epic. Very cool.
