Explosions in the Sky announce new album, End
Explosions in the Sky have announced a new album. On September 15, they’ll release their first album in seven years, End, via Temporary Residence. Today they’ve shared the new song “Ten Billion People.” Hear it below.
“Our starting point was the concept of an ending—death, or the end of a friendship or relationship,” the band said in a statement. “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.”
Explosions in the Sky have also announced a tour in support of their upcoming album. Check out those dates below as well.
Explosions in the Sky’s last album was 2016’s The Wilderness. Their album The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place is featured on our list of the 50 Best Albums of 2003.
