Explosions In The Sky – Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The timing of this album's original release, just weeks before September 11, 2001, gave its imagery an eerie resonance that the Austin four-piece never sought but couldn't escape. The phrase "This is not a war movie" printed on the original packaging took on weight no band could have anticipated, cementing the record's place in the cultural memory of that moment. Two-plus decades on, the music itself remains the thing, six sprawling instrumental tracks that helped define what post-rock could feel like at full emotional volume.
Originally released at the tail end of summer in 2001, Explosions In The Sky's second album, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever was a visceral, speaker-destroying escalation from the modest minimalism of their debut, How Strange, Innocence. Remastered with subtle grace by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever – Anniversary Edition is beautifully packaged with restored original full-color artwork and heavyweight full-color inner sleeve. Exquisitely pressed onto colored vinyl for the first time ever, this is Those Who Tell the Truth at the absolute peak of its ineffable power.
