Explosions In The Sky announce their first album in seven years
The announcement arrives alongside the release of the album’s opening track “Ten Billion People”
End is the forthcoming album from Explosions In The Sky – their first in seven years.
“Our starting point was the concept of an ending – death, or the end of a friendship or relationship,” state the band. “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.”
End follows on from 2016's The Wilderness, and their 2021 release, BIG BEND, which is the soundtrack to the PBS nature documentary of the same name.
Earlier this year Explosions In The Sky announced THE END TOUR taking place in September through to November. The tour will see the band play 26 cities around the world including a date at The Troxy in London. These are the band’s first live dates since 2020.
Tracklist:
- Ten Billion People
- Moving On

- Peace or Quiet
- All Mountains
- The Fight
- It’s Never Going To Stop
End is set for release on 15 September via Bella Union and is available to preorder now.
