When Dave first mentioned Explosions in the Sky last fall in a discussion about the Friday Night Lights soundtrack, I didn't think much of it. Their music was the perfect acompaniment to the film's wonderful evocation of the West Texas I know and love, but I didn't really get it until the winter, when Stephen started going on and on about how wonderful their last album, The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place, is and, well, he was right. Now lucky us - today EITS has reissued its first album, 2000's How Strange, Innocence, of which only 300 copies were burned. It's not yet available on iTunes (curses on you, Apple!), but your local independent record store should have it, even outside of Austin, Texas.
