Rock band Explosions In The Sky have announced End, which is their first album in seven years, will be released on September 15 through Temporary Residence Ltd.
The announcement arrives alongside the release of the album’s opening track “Ten Billion People” and on the heels of The End Tour, which is a 26 city intercontinental tour beginning in September.
End is the grandest Explosions in the Sky album to date by melding the quiet restraint and crushing weight of their early recordings with the aural exploration and ornate experimentation of their later works.
The album was inspired by darkness that became a loud, dramatic, wild rumination on life and death. In the press release Explosions In The Sky discuss the meaning behind their upcoming album.
“Our starting point was the concept of an ending—death, or the end of a friendship or relationship. 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.”
Also in light of the upcoming album, the band have shared the song “Ten Billion People.” As a whole, the song is lovely by how the instrumentation sizzles the atmosphere with a mix of pop and rock music. The guitar, drum and keyboard playing captures how creative Explosions In The Sky are as a band.
