A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Explosions In The Sky

Those knocked flat by the instrumental washes of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Mogwai have taken great joy in the epic grandeur of Explosions In The Sky ever since the band’s 2000 debut. A bit more optimistic than some wall-of-noise peers, Explosions are still jarring in their tendency toward post-apocalyptic bombast, but they don’t fail to walk in line with beauty on occasion. The Austin group has gained notoriety of late for scoring Friday Night Lights, and its popularity only continues to grow, as evidenced by its invitation to curate the UK’s All Tomorrow’s Parties last year.
