  • Description

    Seattle, WA's Special Explosion are instantly and undeniably infectious - equal parts studied, poised and deliberate - while also wide-eyed and anxious. It comes across in everything from our conversations with them to their live show (seriously, watch the video below). It'd be too easy to pigeon hole their sound with comparisons to the likes of other great Northwest acts like Death Cab for Cutie, Built to Spill, The Thermals or Kind of Like Spitting (they're currently Ben Barnett's backing band), but the band avoids these trappings by time and time again adding their own unique spin to this sound. There's no formula here and you get the sense they're having a lot of fun creating something that's, well, special.
