Snow and lights

If my earlier post was about reflecting and contemplating, then I came across the perfect kind of music to listen to while I was over there as well.

It just so happened that while I was in Perth, there was an arts festival going on, with all sorts of performances going on. I went to various museums, watched several movies, and attended a few performances. It was while all this was going on that I was exposed to Explosions in the Sky for the first time.

I guess this band isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, being purely instrumental. And not everyone I know is going to like their kind of music either. But I have to say, their kind of music is so...different from anything I've normally listened to. Slow, melancholic at times, frantic and loud at others; right now, my limited vocabulary just fails to describe it adequately.

But its perfect for me to listen whenever I want to stargaze or just lie back and relax, thats for sure.
