Awesome. I love Explosions In the Sky, and that album in particular is quite good. They definitely make me think about guitar in a different way.

NP:



The second of two great albums from these guys.
I just pre-ordered their upcoming EP due out on the 23rd.

Yeah, Budos Band II is a great album. Mas o Menos is probably my fav track.

And I like E.I.T.S's "Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever". I kinda wish they'd evolved a bit more musically though, they seem to be stuck in archetypal-post-rock-outfit mode.

On my MP3 player today:

The bass playing is fantastic.

They're one of the few bands I can honestly say that I love every track they've done so far. Granted, it's only two albums, but still, they've got a 100% success rate with me so far. Hands down, my favorite so far is "Aynotchesh Yererfu" from the first album. One of the things that sets the Budos Band apart from a lot of other afro-funk bands are the brilliant melodic sensibilities of their horn section. That song is one where it's the most evident. I've often said, if I were a character in an action film, that song would be what plays when my character comes on screen to kick some butt.

I can't wait for the new EP on the 23rd. If it's anything like the first two albums, expect to see it posted in this thread a lot in the weeks to come.

I also agree with you about wanting to see EITS expand their sound, but I do enjoy what they've done so far even if it's fairly similar from album to album.

It's nice to know someone who knows who Budos Band and EITS are.
