Take care, take care, take care by Explosions in the Sky

As a Fan of explosions in the sky, writing about why I like them is difficult, because I struggle to think how I could ever not like them.
I first started listening to explosions in the sky, after coming off what can only be described as a binge of classic rock in my early childhood. As much as I enjoyed Eric clapton, Dire straits, RHCP and anything off Air Guitar albums, I was due a change.
Enter Explosions in the Sky.
I bought All of a sudden I miss everyone almost the same day as watching this video, and when I listened to the album, no song stood out, it was the whole package I enjoyed.
Like the songs on that album, this where take care, take care, take care stands in Explosions in the Sky's discography, no one album stands out head and shoulders above the rest, and importantly, I would be as much a fan of them as I now if this where their first album and not their fourth.
One criticism of EITS could be that they don't change up their style enough, but I'm not sure how valid this criticism is, and when they do what they do so well, is it really so bad they don't change?

The Wolf by Fever Ray
Do you ever say to yourself,
"Man I wish The Knife/Fever Ray released a new album, or maybe even just one track."
I do.
Well I'm in luck and perhaps you are too.
The wolf is a pretty badarse track in the Fever Ray/The Knife vain from the soundtrack to the not very good re-imagining of red riding hoodthat hit cinema screens recently. I haven't seen the film myself but I'm reliablly informed that it ain't great.
For Fever ray/Knife fans, this is really just a stay of execution for a full album from one or the both of them. For most others people, those that are not fans of Swedish electro, it is chance for you to unsettled them by singing along to "eyes black, big holes, his poison, his blood". The hunting horns on the intro are pretty awesome too.

Hey Ya by Obadiah Parker
"Hey, isn't Hey Ya by Outkast?" Yes you would be right, and I've liked Outkast ever since Ms. Jackson, but I've clearly not given them enough credit.
My knowledge of the lyrics from the original version of Hey Ya consisted of "Something something, HEY YA, something something".
This cover brings the lyrics to fore, all interwoven with Piano and Guitar, creating something quite beautiful and poignant out of something quite poppy.
Less danceable? certainly. A lame duck rehash of the original? Certainly not.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed reading and listening as much as I did writing.
