In the beginning there was this one moment, which can be decisive for the future of a band: In 2004 the musician, composer and producer Brian Reitzell, a true jack-of-all-trades, became aware of the troupe from Austin, Texas and engaged them in his function as music supervisor to write the soundtrack for the film "Friday Night Lights". So far, so good. Two years later it became a very successful TV series, in which the music of Explosions In The Sky was used again and again - the ticket to US television, because since then the songs of the band have been used there again and again. This success did not detract from their creativity, as their dynamic sound is by no means subject to commercial considerations. "It even helps us to value our songs even more," guitarist Munaf Rayani reveals. "When you put music over pictures, new levels of meaning open up for the songs I haven't seen before."
