Right. Here's Brian with the news you've all been waiting for. We have
the new EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY LP & CD in this week, the vinyl being on
Temporary Residence & the CD being on Simon Raymonde's fine
Bella
Union imprint. Now since I started working here I must have packed scores
of the last one to send to post-rock devotees around the world & It's
been a staple fave on all our stereos. 'The World Is Not A Cold, Dead
Place' is just what the doctor ordered. Another shot of grandiose
brilliance. Epic, refined, heaving & dense. Total ear candy as we'd
expect from these Texan masters of the genre. Throw away your Mogwai
records and rejoice!! The vinyl is a double & etched on one side for
extra cherish-ability. You know the score. Just get this OK cos It's a
dead cert you'll all love it!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
Picking up where Those Who Tell the Truth…, The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place begins as a flickering twinkle that soon grows to a blinding light. This new sense of hope is the defining characteristic of this record, and ultimately the journey that their music takes us on. Immeasurably more dramatic and dynamic than their last album, The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place takes its shape not in the unexpected cacophony that had become the band's trademark, but in the infinitely deeper caverns of the human soul. With a soft heartbeat-like thump that grows stronger by the minute, the band is now closer than ever to replicating the simple movements that, when strung together, form the unpredictably complex machine that is the human body.
