First time on vinyl since 2004. Packaged in a full-colour heavyweight triple gatefold jacket with matte varnish, full colour heavyweight insert, and custom vinyl etching. The members of Explosions In The Sky played their first show, at the University of Texas’ student radio station, on July 4, 1999, under the short-lived moniker, Breaker Morant. A year later, they recorded their first album, \u003ci\u003eHow Strange, Innocence\u003c\/i\u003e, over the course of two days, and made 300 CD-R copies to sell at shows and give to friends in their hometown of Austin, TX. In 2001, they signed to Temporary Residence Ltd., and released their breakthrough second album, \u003ci\u003eThose Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever,\u003c\/i\u003e leaving the legend of \u003ci\u003eHow Strange, Innocence\u003c\/i\u003e to proliferate on file-sharing and tape trading sites in a pre-iTunes and YouTube era. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing their third album, \u003ci\u003eThe Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place\u003c\/i\u003e, the band released a vinyl pressing of \u003ci\u003eHow Strange, Innocence\u003c\/i\u003e as the debut release on a friend’s short-lived local imprint, Ruined Potential Records. Sold exclusively on a 2004 North American tour, the sole pressing of 300 sold out immediately, quickly becoming an urban legend for fans. Now, in honour of the band’s 20th anniversary, we are delighted to bring this treasured document of Explosions In The Sky’s humble beginnings back into the world. \u003ci\u003eHow Strange, Innocence \u003c\/i\u003e– Anniversary Edition has been beautifully remastered by Heba Kadry – with vinyl lacquers cut by Bob Weston – and packaged in an incredible full-colour, heavyweight triple-gatefold jacket with matte varnish, heavyweight full-color insert, and custom vinyl etching containing the charming story of \u003ci\u003eHow Strange, Innocence \u003c\/i\u003ein the band’s own words. This is the definitive sound, look, and feel of the album that started one of the most inspiring and unique careers in modern underground music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Temporary Residence","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50498465595723,"sku":"1068962","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/91922264-13ef-4301-bcb4-8d5badaafd51_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727748716","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/how-strange-innocence-anniversary-edition","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
