Epic, post-rock soundscaping from their breakthrough record.
Friday night headliners at the Green Man Festival, Explosions In The Sky stretch the loud-quiet, fast-slow dynamic to breaking point. It's a mighty fine sound, especially live, that ranks alongside Fridge (Green Man faves of yesteryear), Sickoakes, Super Numeri, Slint and labelmates The Drift, who would be a major coup for Green Man 2012 (hint, hint).
'Memorial' is from their 'The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place' album which was the first album of theirs to be released in the UK (on Bella Union). The album is dominated by long, segued pieces but 'Memorial' is relatively concise, setting some epic, skyscraping exposition alongside some delicious and delicate quiet stuff.
