The Inner Circle


Making up for Williams lackluster song of the week I decided to make an attempt to revive this week’s ‘Jam of The Week’.

Surprisingly, it’s not rap or hip-hop. The band is called Explosions In The Sky and they hail from Austin, Texas (3 members of the band are from Midland and the drummer is from Illinois). If you haven’t heard of them, you’ve still probably heard them. Most recently, their songs have been featured in a Cadillac advertisement and they did most of the soundtrack for Friday Night Lights (the 2004 film).

Their songs are lengthy and seem to be progressive throughout with no vocals, just 3 guitarist and a drummer. If you like Sigur Ros (i.e. Portillo, Mazur, & A-Dub) you will mos def fancy Explosions in The Sky. If you enjoyed the music in Friday Night Lights (i.e. Bear ) then there’s no question you will appreciate this music


Songs:

‘First Breath After Coma’
‘Your Hand In Mine’
