How Strange, Innocence

Explosions in the Sky

A fragile, unpolished debut of instrumental guitar music. Recorded in just two days, it captures a young band finding their voice through dusty, melodic sketches.

January 17, 2000 · Temporary Residence Limited

A fragile, youthful collection of melodies that feels more like a private dream than a public performance.

Moments Worth Listening For
The tentative, clean guitar melody that opens A Song for Our Fathers, sounding more like a private rehearsal than a studio recording.
The sudden shift into a driving, urgent rhythm halfway through Time Stops that feels like a frantic heartbeat.
The way the final notes of Remember Me as a Time of Day dissolve into a warm, tape-hiss silence.
