You wait for a new Explosions In The Sky (post rock kings) song to come along and then 9 arrive all at once. And you know what kids, they are all free, yep our Texan friends are out on their own in the generosity front. ‘Day Four’ is one of 8 tracks recorded by the band for the Travel In Constants Series (Vol. 21) and it boasts plenty of the usual rhyme and plenty of reason. The plan was to record a new song every day for eight days, very much going against their normal policy of sitting on an idea for months until it has fully hatched. The result was called ‘The Rescue’ and it is no less wondrous that any of their 3 official albums. There were only 500 copies of ‘The Rescue’ made available on the EITS website (sold out) although they are some copies available at the bands gigs (see the prices they are fetching on ebay). ‘The Long Spring’ is EITS’s contribution to the Temporary Residence’s compilation called ‘Thank You’ (to mark their 50th release) and very fine it is too. As you probably know by now EITS don’t just write music, they also save lives. KD
