Explosions In The Sky is an American post-rock band from Austin, Texas. Originally formed in 1999 under the name Breaker Morant, the quartet changed their name to Explosions In The Sky that same year. Consisting of Mark Smith on guitar, Michael James on bass, Munaf Rayani on guitar, and Christopher Hrasky on drums, they have become known for their captivating instrumental compositions. With a unique blend of atmospheric soundscapes and powerful crescendos, Explosions In The Sky has established themselves as one of the leading bands in the post-rock genre.

Since their formation, Explosions In The Sky has released several critically acclaimed albums and gained a dedicated fan base worldwide. Their music is characterized by its emotional depth and cinematic quality, often evoking a sense of introspection and contemplation. Through their intricate melodies and dynamic performances, they create immersive sonic experiences that resonate with listeners.

With over two decades of experience as a band, Explosions In The Sky continues to push boundaries and explore new musical territories. Their live shows are renowned for their intense energy and mesmerizing visuals, making each performance a truly unforgettable experience. Whether you're a long-time fan or discovering them for the first time, Explosions In The Sky's music will transport you to another world.

Containing the very first transmissions from Explosions In The Sky to the world, the songs on How Strange Innocence were freshly written, painstakingly rehearsed, and anxiously put to tape during a whirlwind two-day recording session with Stephen T. Hall (Sixteen Deluxe) at The Bubble in Austin, TX. But the group evolved quickly, and recorded what would be their breakthrough, the stunning Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever, less than one year later. How Strange Innocence was pushed aside in favor of the more accomplished Those Who Tell The Truth as the band’s introduction to the rest of the world, seeing no official release beyond 300 CDRs the band produced to sell on the road. Original CDRs fetch over $200 on eBay, the scarce vinyl version nearing $500! This phenomenon was disconcerting to the band and their growing number of fans, which makes us all the more proud to announce this official How Strange Innocence reissue, beautifully remastered with all new artwork.
