At the start of the month, Explosions in the Sky released their six album, The Wilderness to critical acclaim across the boards for the band’s refreshing, understated direction. Fresh off their recent success, the band confirmed additional dates for their quick-selling tour, including stops throughout Europe and North America. Along with their announced shows in New York, Chicago and Boston, the band has added a slew of dates for another US leg of the tour, including a stop in Houston before heading eastward.
The band began the tour with a bang, selling out two shows at Austin’s Paramount Theatre. Austin Chronicle said of the performances, “This wasn’t just a gig. This was an arrival 16 years coming. This was Pink Floyd just before Live at Pompeii. This was the moment when EITS went from being Texas’ kings of post-rock to scene emperors.” See full tour schedule below.
The band has been extending their work outside the realms of music into photography. Explosions in the Sky recently also shared their most recent art project, Scenes from the Wilderness, a collection of still photographs taken by guitarist Munaf Rayani. Working with various designers, EITS created a project that Fast Company called “a visually striking, surprisingly moving way to take in the new album.”
