My musical gustatory perception , if you could call them that , are largely mainstream and boring . And that ’s how I first come across detonation in the Sky : I was look on a mainstream movie , and I was world-weary . give thanks goodness .
Have you realize Friday Night Lights ? Not the first-class television show . The slightly less excellent 2004 movie . Or rather : have you listen it . Because while the moving picture is good , fine , watch it , great , the score — which string together a fistful of stalk Explosions in the Sky instrumental tracks — stays with you long after any Billy Bob Thornton pep talk ever could .
That was my first introduction , realizing that I was bear more attention to the soundtrack than to the flick itself . That ’s when I got hooked , yes , but the instrumental post - rock ( it ’s post - rock , right ? I can never keep up ) Little Joe is more than just that one soundtrack . They ’re several albums ’ worth of hopeful dirge , of soar upwards assonance . Most of all , they make a soundscape that lingers . Maybe never more so , for me , than with Your Hand in Mine , off of 2003 ’s The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place . It ’s the kind of euphony that lets you shut up and just sense , already .
That ’s what I listen to when I ’m work particularly late , or especially early , or want my soundtrack to distract me from the story of my day . [ iTunes , Amazon ]
