I've had the leak for a while, but it finally seems like the newest Explosions in the Sky record is finally sinking in. After all is said and done, I think it just might be the best thing I've heard so far this year. Although I find it really difficult to write (or talk) about instrumental music, I can say that the songs on this LP will bring out some kind of emotional response in the listener. The response elicited by these tracks is entirely variable, depending on your current emotional state and your immediate environment-- which is really the beauty of this kind of music, it effects everyone in it's own way rather than being caged by lyrics, it is a shapeshifting object that adapts to the listener.
I've said enough. Check out this Mp3 from their upcoming LP 'All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone' (Due out 2-20), and decide for yourself.

PS
Happy Valentine's Day! I'm going to a special Neko Case concert tonight on our campus, the show sold out at least a month ago, and I'm super excited (a recap will surely follow in the very near future).
