Explosions In The Sky – Day One
The band explains: *’day 1′ is the result of us not knowing at all what to do or how any of it would turn out – disjointed & loose to the extent of being structureless, but also the sound of us having a lot of fun. picking up random bells laying around the house & just shaking them into a microphone.*
Explosions In The Sky – Memorial (RM Dub)
It’s been quite a while since I heard a post-rock remix.
With that in mind, I thoroughly enjoy this one.

Explosions In The Sky – Day Three
I’ll let the band explain the idea behind this one: *We promised Jeremy we would do a Travels in Constants e.p. literally over four years ago. Since then we’ve been sidetracked by an astonishing number of things. Two thousand and five was our year to take a bit of a step back and take some time to write new music, and along the way somewhere we got an idea for doing this e.p. in a different way then we’ve ever approached writing music. It can take us months and months and months to write even a song. Sometimes it comes much quicker, but often we spend many an afternoon trying out new melodies and riffs and drum beats, playing things over and over, obsessing and arguing and sighing and sitting silently for what seems to be hours on end. So, for this, our idea was to write and record a song every day for two weeks (this later became eight days) and the rest of the two weeks would be spent trying to mix and master the results. No riffs were to be written beforehand; things would be pretty much made up on the spot. It seemed daunting but fun and, perhaps, instructive. A learning experience. A chance to try new instruments and new ways of thinking about writing songs. It’s also our first attempt at recording ourselves (the whole thing was recorded in Michael’s house). Anyway, The Rescue is the result.* Enjoy the tune below.
