"How Strange, Innocence" is the first album recorded by post-rock band Explosions in the Sky, released on January 17 2000. It is their only album for the Sad Loud America label. Initially only 300 copies were issued in the form of CD-Rs. Due to many requests from fans, the album was remastered from the original master tapes and with new artwork, reissued on CD by Temporary Residence Limited on October 11 2005.

The album was also released in a limited edition, 300 copy, double LP 180gram vinyl on Ruined Potential records. The record was released in 5 different colors (Black, Blue, Red, Grey and White). The Black, Blue and Grey versions came with a special insert. The band sold the record version exclusively on their 2000 tour. A vinyl re-issue has yet to become available.
