Explosions In The Sky- Take Care, Take Care, Take Care (2011)

Jackson's mention of the Explosions In The Sky show in Richmond I didn't attend made me realize I should post this (it isn't out yet, so shhhh!). Take Care, Take Care, Take Care doesn't quite match the epic beauty of The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place or pack the punch of All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone, but a solid effort nonetheless. More of the same gorgeous post-rock that Explosions is famous for. This time with clapping and "Oh's" (seriously!).




Get it here. Since this isn't out yet, the mediafire link will probably be taken town, if so let me know and I'll find another one.

The Mercury Program- Chez Viking (2009)

Simply put, The Mercury Program is my favorite band ever. I was pretty anxious before this came out, I didn't believe they would be able to come anywhere near A Data Learn The Language. I was wrong. Chez Viking is just about as close to a perfect album as possible and in my opinion is superior to A Data... absolutely zero filler, every track is extremely strong. You should have this already, if you don't get it now. I mean right now. This second.

Get it here.
