I've loved these guys since I heard about them. I just wish they'd come out with something new...

They're the ones who got me into Post-Rock in the first place. \m/

I hope to god that's true. And that they'll actually release enough so I can go out and buy some.

Yes they are.

I really don't have much to add other than that...

YEESSSSS!! This is truly one of my favorite bands of all time. Really. I have every single song they have ever recorded. The song "The Only Moment We Were Alone" is one of the most powerful pieces of music I've ever heard, and "Your Hand In Mine (w/ strings)" has gotten me through some rough times.

Words cannot express my love for this band. I can't wait for their new CD, and I can't wait until they tour again, because I'll be in the front of the line waiting for them.

Here's a couple of great interviews:

I listened to them a little, I liked what I heard. I have to listen to some more.

Love them, love them, love them. Proof that amazingly moving music can be made without vocals. I can't wait to hear what they are making in the studio. One of my favorite songs of theirs is Magic Hours.

You make it sound as though they're the only band who has ever written emotional instrumentals.

They are definitely, in my opinion, the best.

They opened my eyes to it, at least. Before I heard EITS, I kind of thought that all instrumental was boring. Only now do I see that I was an idiot.

Plus I have yet to hear anyone do it better.

But I heave heard other great instrumental bands since, G,YBE, for instance.

Though I love Explosions in the Sky, my favorite instrumental composition by far is still Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Mother****er=Redeemer. Though Mogwai - Travel is Dangerous is very powerful as well, Mother****er=Redeemer is epic and amazing and just...awe-inspiring.
