Magic HoursPosted by Richard Paul on April 3rd, 2008 @ 10:25 pm
In honor of Explosions in the Sky playing Magic Hours live for the first time in six years two nights ago in Chicago. I’m revisiting a short film that I took a liking to a while back. Jenna’s cousin, Dennis Aspiras, is the maker of the film and a slightly-altered Magic Hours serves as the soundtrack. The past two nights’ performances by EITS, in Chicago and Grand Rapids, have been incredibly magical hours for me, to say the least. They’re music was recently described as a “universal language” by local avid gig photographer, Kirstie, whom provided the shot of Michael James, above. Universal. That is what makes Explosion in the Sky’s music so everlasting. Below is “Social Experiment 9″ which may have been titled such for a school project but the name is somewhat fitting to the plot of the film. And below the video is a live audio recording of Magic Hours performed a little over six years ago in Dennis’s hometown of Toronto. Enjoy!
