Following on from the release of their original soundtrack for BIG BEND in 2021, Explosions In The Sky have now announced their plans for a new studio album, their first in seven years!
The new full-length 'End' marks their first LP since 2016's 'The Wilderness', is being previewed by the new lead single 'Ten Billion People', and is set to be released on the 15th September via Bella Union.
Speaking about the new release, the band said, “Our starting point was the concept of an ending – death, or the end of a friendship or relationship. Every song comes from a story, or an idea one of us has had that we’ve all expanded on and made its own world. Maybe it’s our nature, but we kept feeling that the album title was ultimately open to a lot more interpretation – the end of a thing or a time can mean a stop, but it can also mean a beginning, and what happens after one thing ends might pale in comparison to what it becomes next.”
