Explosions In The Sky recently announced ‘The End Tour’ without much information about what “the end” was, but now we know. They’ll release a new album called End on September 15 via Temporary Residence Ltd, and a press release promises that the title does not mean it’s their final album. The band says:
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.
The first single is “Ten Billion People,” a soaring, climactic song that finds these post-rock legends in unmistakably fine form and still finding new ways to push forward. Listen below.
‘The End Tour’ hits Brooklyn on October 5 at Kings Theatre. All dates are listed below.
