Explosions in the Sky - "Cathartic mini-symphonies"
Explosions in the Sky is an American instrumental post-rock band from Texas. The band has garnered popularity beyond the post-rock scene for their cinematic, elaborately developed guitar work, narratively styled instrumentals, what they refer to as "cathartic mini-symphonies," and their enthusiastic and emotional live shows.They primarily play with three electric guitars and a drum kit, although band member Michael James will at times exchange his electric guitar for a bass guitar.
Originally called Breaker Morant, Explosions in the Sky was formed in Austin, Texas in 1999. Drummer Chris Hrasky is from Rockford, Illinois, and the rest of the band hails from Midland, Texas. The new name of "Explosions in the Sky" came from a comment Hrasky made in reference to the noise or sight of fireworks when they left KVRX on the night they played their first set and recorded their first track, "Remember Me as a Time of Day", that would be released on a compilation.Their 2000 debut album, How Strange, Innocence, was locally distributed in the form of CD-Rs. Rehearsal footage is featured on the short film Cicadas, which won an Austin Film Festival award.
Explosions in the Sky quickly gained a reputation for themselves among other established local bands such as Lift to Experience. Temporary Residence Limited signed the band on the strength of their demo after only half a listen; the demo was submitted by fellow Austin band The American Analog Set with a brief note saying, "This totally fucking destroys."
They garnered a small amount of media attention with their second album, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever, due to rumors linking it to the September 11, 2001 attacks. The band denied any connection in interviews. The album art shows an airplane with the caption "This plane will crash tomorrow." There were false reports that the last track was called "This Plane Will Crash Tomorrow" and that the album was released on September 10, 2001; the concept had actually originated in 2000, and the album was released on August 27, 2001. Bassist Michael James was detained in an airport as a threat to security, and had to explain why his guitar contained the words "this plane will crash tomorrow".
After being contacted by Brian Reitzell, Explosions in the Sky wrote the soundtrack for the 2004 film Friday Night Lights. Despite having access to rare equipment in the studio for that project, the band kept to their songwriting style in creating original material.
Their most recent album, All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone, which debuted February 20, 2007, exists as both a one-disc version and a two-disc special edition featuring remixes by multiple artists.[10] The band began touring on February 19 in the U.S. and Canada.[11] They played a shortened version of "Welcome, Ghosts" on the February 20 episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien. On May 10, they canceled the shows up to August due to a family illness.[12] They performed on Austin City Limits on June 29, 2007.[13] They acted as curators of the UK-based All Tomorrow's Parties music festival in May 2008. The group are confirmed to play the ATP New York 2010 music festival in Monticello, New York in September 2010.
They will be releasing a new album sometime in 2011. (wikipedia)

"Cathartic mini-symphonies"
= = 噗哈哈哈哈哈
。怎么都是熟脸。
一长串的英文……@_@
我就觉得这小站莫非就是几个人在自娱自乐……?
有个地方娱乐不是很好嘛= =
对啊,不说我还没觉得。
用英文拉那么长一段,好像很别扭啊?
我来翻译!!
求翻译……
等着。。手机党表示手机翻译压力很大。。晚上回去给咱把月饼也一起翻了~
Explosions in the Sky 是一致来自美国德克萨斯州的器乐后摇。那被称为小型宗教交响乐(原文单词拼写有误)的富于影像的音乐氛围,精致的吉他演奏,带着叙事风格的器乐旋律,和开放并富于情绪化的现场演出,这使得这只乐队在一般的后摇乐队中脱颖而出。虽然成员Michael James时不时会把他的电吉他换成贝司,但是他们基本上还是以三把电吉他和一架套鼓为主要乐器。
1999年,乐队起初在德克萨斯的奥斯汀刚成立的时候叫Breaker Morant。鼓手Chris Hrasky来自伊利诺斯州的罗克福德,而乐队的其余成员都来自德克萨斯的米德兰。新名字“Explosions in the sky”来自Hrasky在离开KVRX时看到满天喧闹的烟花时的一句随口评论,在那里,他们进行第一场的了演出,并录了第一首歌Remember Me as a Time of Day,这首歌后日被收入专辑。2000年,他们的第一张专辑,How Strang,Innocence在当录制成CD。其中一首歌的副歌部分被拿去给短片Cicadas配乐,后来这部短片赢得了美国奥斯汀电影节奖。
于是Explosions in the Sky迅速从当地的乐队如Lift to Experience等中间脱颖而出。Temporary Residence Limited公司在把他们的Demo听了一半之后迅速就把乐队签下,这个demo被奥斯汀一支独立乐队The American Analog Set用一句简短的话评价为“简直就是场毁灭!”
在第二张专辑Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever发行后,一件与911事件有关的小传闻使他们获得了一小部分媒体的关注。乐队并为此拒绝采访。那张专辑封面上有一架飞机,并写有“This Plane Will Crash Tomorrow(这架飞机将在明天坠毁)”的字样。有误报道说最后一首歌叫做“This Plane Will Crash Tomorrow”,并且这张专辑在2001年9月10日发行的。而事实上,早在2000年的时候他们就在计划做这张专辑,而到了2001年8月27日才正式发行。贝司手Michael James还因为怀疑妨碍公共安全而被滞留在机场,并被要求解释他的琴上为什么会有“This Plane Will Crash Tomorrow”的字样。
在和配乐大师Brian Reitzell接触后,Explosions in the Sky为电影《胜利之光》录制了一段配乐。尽管在这段音乐制作中,工作室的器材缺乏,但他们还是以天才的创作态度解决了一系列难题,出色的完成了音乐的制作。
2007年2月20日发行的All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone是距今最近的一张专辑,一个版本是单张CD,一个是双碟装的由多位音乐人混音制作的特别版。自2月19日起,乐队就开始了北美(美国和加拿大)的巡演。在2月20日演出中,他们简短的演奏了电影Late Night with Conan O'Brien中的插曲Welcome ,Ghosts。4月10日,由于成员中家人的疾病,他们取消了5月10日的演出。6月29日他们在Austin City Limits的演出结束的07年的巡演。08年5月,他们装扮成图书馆馆长出现在英国的名为All Tomorrow’s Parties的音乐节上。
据证实,10年9月,乐队将在蒙蒂赛洛的音乐节上演出。(这个音乐节阵容非常的强大)
据悉,新专辑将在2011年某时发行。
