Austin, Texas based post-rock icons Explosions In The Sky are back with a new album, named 'The Wilderness'. The album will be released on 1 April but the pre-order has already started on their website. A first video is also revealed, one for the song 'Disintegration Anxiety'. You can find the video below.
About the album:
It’s the band’s sixth album, and first non-soundtrack release since 2011's 'Take Care, Take Care, Take Care'. True to its title, 'The Wilderness' explores the infinite unknown, utilizing several of the band's own definitions of "space" (outer space, mental space, physical geography of space) as compositional tools. It is an album where shoegaze, electronic experimentation, punk damaged dub, noise, and ambient folk somehow coexist without a hint of contrivance - and cohere into some of the most memorable and listenable moments of the band's expansive body of work - "proper" studio albums and major motion picture soundtracks alike. If 'The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place' was the defining album of their career, 'The Wilderness' is the band's [re]defining album.
