ABOUT THIS ITEM

Containing the very first transmitions from Explosions In The Sky to the world, the songs on "How Strange Innocence" were freshly written painstakingly rehearsed, and anxiously put to tape during a whirlwind two-day recording session with Stephen T. Hall at The Bubble in Austin, TX. But the group evolved quickly, and recorded what would be their breakthrough, the stunning "Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever", less than one year later. "How Strange Innocence" was pushed aside in favour of the more accomplished "Those Who Tell The Truth.." as the band's introduction to the rest of the world, seeing no official release beyond 300 CDRs the band produced to sell on the road.
