[Ether_Snake]

I quite like this band. Discovered them on grooveshark's ambient radio channel.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Woah! Definitely checking for this. The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place is one of my favorite albums ever.

 

[gdt]

Hmm, I could totally see myself heading to NYC to see them. I'd rather just trek to Philly though.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

New song!

"Trembling Hands" off Take Care, Take Care, Take Care

 

[Hobbestetrician]

super hyped for this. The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place and Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever are stone-cold classics.

 

[Plasmid]

I get to see them live April 1st .

 

[wenis]

shit...beaten, did even see the bump.
Also for Bay Area GAF, I found out they are playing a show in Oakland (Fox Theater) on May 1st. Tickets go on sale this sunday at 10am...I'm so there.

 

[ChocolateCupcakes]

Nice bump, I didnt know they were coming out with a new album.

 

[tearsofash]

They usually have pretty good albums. Cant listen to one song by itself or out of order, it just doesn't work like that. Can't wait to see them this summer!

 

[sonikokaruto]

had to sell my cowon d2, but the zune gives me a fucking amazing sound quality, will buy and listen

 

[_Isaac]

Well, they had that one good song that I know of. Your Hand in Mine or something.

 

[Meier]

Can't wait to see them open for Arcade Fire in May. Going to be absolutely epic.

 

[ahoyhoy]

We need more than one tour date here in the US of A. Haven't seen them live since '07.

 

[disappeared]

Yes.

 

[Neckbeard]

Faster. FASTER!

 

[Ether_Snake]

Discovered this band recently on Grooveshark. Quite good.

 

[Zebra]

New song!

"Trembling Hands" off Take Care, Take Care, Take Care

The weird vocal rhythm sounds overstay their welcome, but otherwise it sounds great. Cannot wait to hear the rest!

 

[Neckbeard]

The weird vocal rhythm sounds overstay their welcome, but otherwise it sounds great. Cannot wait to hear the rest!

That's always kind of been their shtick (and main draw, IMO) though.

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

Been a fan for years. One of my favorite bands of all time.

Seeing them in exactly a month at Stage AE in Pittsburgh already got my ticket.

 

[Zebra]

That's always kind of been their shtick (and main draw, IMO) though.

I rather enjoy it when they've done it otherwise with other instruments, but the vocal sound doesn't do it for me. Just came off as irritating after a bit.

But maybe I'll warm up to it at some point during the next several billion listens of the song I've got planned.

 

[Knox]

I knew they were opening for Arcade Fire in Texas so I thought I'd look. According to last.fm (http://www.last.fm/music/Explosions+in+the+Sky/+events) it looks like those aren't the complete tour dates.

 

[Sonki.]

new song is boring. past prime.

still giver a shot

 

[LProtag]

I like it. It's pretty exciting and a lot more condensed than most of their stuff.

 

[DM_Uselink]

One of my favorite bands. Glad to see them get some love in here!

I can't confirm this is one of the songs on the new album but I believe it is fairly recent. Beautiful song in my opinion.

[Tashi]

I'm definitely interested.

 

[CJUNDERGROUND]

It's out there. Amazing album.

 

[dominuece]

Been a fan for about 4 years. I'll finally see them at Bonnaroo.

 

[The Judge]

Album is great, of course. I'm glad to see some different instrumentation like acoustic guitar, some different percussions and yes, even the shouts. I love it, last song is my favorite on first listen.

Might not be as good as the new Mogwai though.

 

[MRORANGE]

omg another post-rock album this year - YES!!!!!!!!!

 

[WEGGLES]

It's out there. Amazing album.

Yeah, I'm on my first listen, it's great.

Makes me glad about my pre-order

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]
