Welcome, ghosts, to the first instrumental Friday on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. Today will feature three different instrumental tracks by three different bands. The first is Welcome, Ghosts by Explosions In The Sky. It is a brilliant track, with three different guitarists and a drummer all weaving in and out of each others intricate melodies. It is definitely a tracks that makes me cringe a bit when the last fifty seconds start and distortion starts to kick in. I figure that if I was falling off something very high for 5 minutes and 44 seconds, I could probably write this song afterwards. Enjoy. [I'm very proud of myself for only using the word intricate once; and never using the words profound and exquisite. I've read reviews for Explosions in The Sky and the whole review is littered those words, and other variations of them.]
Welcome Ghosts - Explosions In The Sky
This track is pretty stunning. It's pretty much everywhere musically but always moving in a forward progression. Starting with just solitary guitars and minimalist drums it breaks down slightly and then evolves into a layered showcase of Do Make Say Thinks ability to evoke stunning images into your brain. Also, the bass part at about 2:31 is pretty damn sweet.
Herstory of Glory - Do Make Say Think
Yeah, I DO think I'm clever and witty putting an A capella track in the instrumental post.
Rebellion (Lies) (Arcade Fire Cover) - Indie Blockedappella
Enjoy
