I had a dream,
the cosmic lights were stolen.
The Nothing had taken stars one by one,
and the Universe was silenced.
But from the last glow of the Milky Way came Sirius,
hard has a diamond.
He broke the nothingness and the Galaxy reborned by his sacred explosion.

“Total silence to total violence”, this could be the story of the post-rock texan band Explosion in the sky, a quartet of musicians formed in 1999. 
Their music is powerful as a Supernova.
 
“Postcards from 1952” is the first music video we’ve ever received from the band. It was directed by Annie Gunn and Peter Simonite (the second unit cinematographer on Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life“) who based the whole thing off real photographs, capturing some of life’s most important moments such as first birthdays, a baby’s first steps, the first floating soap bubble. For the vintage effect they used flash bulbs from the 50′s and a wise use of slow motion (it was done using two Red Epics shot at 2k resolution 300fps). Above all Annie and Peter worked hard to marry visuals with the music. The result is a video where the sound evolves with the frames of the clip and the beats grow little by little until they explode at 4:30 and finally blow as a candle at 6:18.
