By now Explosions in the Sky have become local heroes. Which is a pretty big feat considering that instrumental post-rock bands usually don't garner all that much attention. But there's nothing usual about Explosions... through the over ten years that they've been playing together they've been honing their craft to amazing levels, captivating more fans in every live show they play (which are mesmerizing, each and every one), they're loved by musical legends like Fugazi and Arcade Fire, and they live here in Austin and love playing here every chance they get.
They released a video earlier this year for their song Postcard from 1952. I've been talking about it to whomever would listen to me for a while, it's one of the most beautiful videos that I've ever seen. It was directed by Peter Simonite, who worked with Terrence Malick on Tree of Life.

They'll be performing at Auditorium Shores for FunFunFunFest. It's going to be beautiful.
