Explosions In The Sky All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone (CD, Temporary Residence Limited Records, 2007) ***
Genre: Post rock
Places I remember: JB Hi Fi
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept
Gear costume: The Moon Is Down
Active compensatory factors: I don't really know what post-rock is. It's not like rock as a genre has finished right?

Wikipedia defines it, but it sounds like prog rock to me.
Whatever it's called, I like it. The instrumental approach is perfect for this band, like Isis do in a more metal vein.
Those Who Tell The Truth...was their second album. These four guys from Texas construct interesting, rewarding songs without a shred of noodling or wig outs (I like both, but Explosions In The Sky manage beautifully without indulging - maybe that's the difference between post rock and prog?)
All Of A Sudden...was album number 5 and continues the adventure. Maybe a little less coherent than album number 2? Hard to say. Still worth your time.
Where do they all belong? The band still exists and still tours. I'll be on the look out for more of their albums for sure.
