Explosions in the Sky
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
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.
The title “End” furthers a story arc reflected in the album titles that started with the “innocence” of their first album (How Strange, Innocence), progressed through the idealism and romanticism of their second and third albums (Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever and The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place), followed by the introspection (All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone and Take Care Take Care Take Care) and big-picture focus (The Wilderness) of their most recent albums.
