All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone


All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone cover art by the amazing Esteban Rey

Familiarize yourself with the graphic above, because it's going to be the cover art for what is likely to be the best album of 2007. I mean, it's entirely possible that it might not be, but Explosions in the Sky have never let me down before and I don't expect them to anytime soon. All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone will mark the fourth full-length by the band, the follow-up to 2003's The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place, which is their best record to date, in my opinion. It's pretty hard not to have my expectations through the roof for this album, but I'm trying my best to keep them under control so when I finally hear it I'll be blown away.

The new album will be released with a limited edition bonus disc of remixes by the likes of Four Tet, Eluvium, The Paper Chase, and more. It will be out February 21st in double disc CD format as well as beautiful double gatefold LP, with an etching on the fourth side. The first 2,000 copies will be colored vinyl, and all of the first pressing (5,000 copies) will come with the remix CD. The new record will be available at both NY shows this coming February, so if you want it a few days early, you better make sure you get tickets. Album details are below.

All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone:
1. The Birth and Death of the Day
2. Welcome, Ghosts
3. It’s Natural To Be Afraid
4. What Do You Go Home To?
5. Catastrophe and the Cure
6. So Long, Lonesome

The bonus remix disc:
1. The Birth and Death of the Day [Jesu Mix]
2. Welcome, Ghosts [Adem Mix]
3. It’s Natural To Be Afraid [The Paper Chase Mix]
4. What Do You Go Home To? [Mountains Mix]
5. Catastrophe and the Cure [Four Tet Mix]
6. So Long, Lonesome [Eluvium Mix]

For those of you who havent heard it yet, "Welcome, Ghosts" is pretty damn phenomenal, so if you're lagging behind you better listen to it right now.

[MP3]: Explosions In The Sky :: Welcome, Ghosts (Highly Recommended!!!)

Also, for those of you who dig not only EITS, but high-quality audio as well, you might wanna check out this absolutely amazing .flac recording of the November 14th show at L.A.'s El Ray Theatre. It includes two new songs. One of which is "Welcome, Ghosts" and the other is still unidentified. I highly recommend checking it out. Note: the files are pretty huge.

Buy all Explosions in the Sky records from Temporary Residence.
Seriously, don't buy them anywhere else.
