EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY

They've come a long way since decimating The Freebutt almost 20 years ago, creating a deafeningly huge sound in a space barely big enough to serve as a field mouse's suitcase.

and, in that respect, not a lot's changed - EITS still devastate with their sprawling post rock pyrotechnics and we still love them deeply for it. 'End', the enigmatic seventh album by Explosions in the Sky, was inspired by darkness, but became a loud, dramatic, wild rumination on life and death. 'End' is perhaps the “grandest” Explosions in the Sky album – melding the quiet restraint and crushing feel of their early releases with the sonic texturing and ornate experimentation of their later releases, and their increasingly deep film and television scoring catalog, influenced by personal tastes stretching from classical to soul to experimental ambient music.
