Explosions in the Sky are an American post-rock band from Texas. The quartet originally played under the name Breaker Morant, then changed to the current name in 1999. The band has garnered popularity beyond the post-rock scene for their elaborately developed guitar work, narratively styled instrumentals – what they refer to as “cathartic mini-symphonies” – and their enthusiastic and emotional live shows. They primarily play with three electric guitars and a drum kit, although band member Michael James will at times exchange his electric guitar for a bass guitar. The band has later added a fifth member to their live performances. The band’s music is almost purely instrumental.

At the bottom of the post you can also see some videos of the band playing live at Albert Hall in Manchester, made by my Mum’s friend. Mum and Dad were at the gig, but they don’t have an photos 😓
