Explosions In The Sky - END (Limited Edition Yellow Colored Vinyl)
LP
“It never fails to amaze me the power of music when love is at its core. It is the reason we get out of bed every morning. To hope that we can continue to show that beauty is still around and in all of us. Thank you for doing what you do and helping us through this life.” – Simon Raymonde (Coceau Twins), in a message sent to Explosions In The Sky after hearing End, the band’s first new album in seven years.
End is perhaps the “grandest” Explosions In The Sky album – melding the quiet restraint and crushing feel of their early releases with the aural exploration and ornate experimentation of their later works (while incorporating their increasingly deep film and television scoring catalog).
The title End furthers a story arc reflected in the album titles that started with the “innocence” of their first album (How Strange, Innocence), progressed through the idealism and romanticism of their second and third albums (Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever and The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place), followed by the introspection (All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone and Take Care, Take Care, Take Care) and introspection and big-picture focus (The Wilderness) of their most recent albums.
