Feeling Chillin'
Hearing Explosions in the Sky
A trippy night, a trippy band, trippy chill-out music for a sold-out crowd.
New York's new uber-club, Terminal 5, was a far cry from the barely 50-member-strong
audiences in the dimly lit clubs of Austin for Explosions in the Sky, as those in the know
fondly recall. And a far cry even from the Warsaw, that Williamsburg haven of indie
discoveries in waiting. No, New York wasn't offering a kielbasa with a side of spacey
guitar freak-outs, this time around.
I'm happy for Explosions in the Sky, with their hard-earned notoriety and well-deserved
place in the pantheon of indie rock. You've come a long way, baby.
Give Explosions in the Sky's show tonight a listen and you'll understand why so many
made their way to the Westernmost reaches of NY's known universe to hear what would
normally be a soundtrack at an NYU smoke-fest. They created atmospheres, vibes and
energies. If only I could think of any less bohemian adjectives, I'd certainly use them. But,
well, listen and you'll get the idea.

P.S. My dream Central Park Summerstage lineup for summer '08: Devendra Banhart,
Grizzly Bear and Explosions in the Sky. Now that would be a night. Explosions in the
Sky, with their heady soundscapes and an absolute lack of any kind of vocalization,
would be a perfect counterpoint to Grizzly Bear's harmonies and Banhart's freak folk
fuzz. And all under a starry night sky. (*sigh*) What do you say, Kara, can you make it
happen?
