Explosions in the Sky is an American instrumental post rock band from Austin, Texas. The band consists of Michael James on guitar, bass guitar and keyboards, Munaf Rayani on guitar, percussion and keyboard, Chris Hrasky on drums and Mark Smith on guitar and synthesizer. The band formed in 1999 in Texas, with all the members of the band from Midland, Texas apart from Hrasky who is from Rockford, Illinois. Their debut album arrived in 2000 titled ‘How Strange, Innocence’ which was distributed as a CD.
