Explosions In The Sky Announce New Album, End
After nearly seven years, Explosions in the Sky is back with a new album. Titled End, the collection consists of seven songs and will be released on Sept. 15 through Temporary Residence Ltd. Despite calling the album End, this isn’t it for the quartet. Instead, the band says the album is inspired by darkness, which ultimately became a rumination on life itself.
“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.”
