This Will Destroy You~
This Will Destroy You is an indie instrumental rock band out of Texas, much like Explosions in the Sky. Their first album, Young Mountain, is perhaps one of my all-time favorites. I just picked up their second album (According to their Wiki page, it’s actually their first; Young Mountain was supposed to be a demo) This Will Destroy You. I gotta tell you, it’s pretty win. In some aspects, it seems a lot like Explosions in the Sky- it seems this time around they’re a lot more mellow.
Now, don’t get me wrong! mellow is excellent for them, they pull it off well. They’ve got a distinct sound that’s unique. One of my personal favorites (I’ll link a sample) from Young Mountain would be There Are Some Remedies Worse Than The Disease. Truer words were never spoken. Here is a random link to download.
