Following on the recent announcement of an April UK/Ireland tour including a headline show at London’s Royal Albert Hall, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY has confirmed a 1st April worldwide release for its new album “The Wilderness”.

“The Wilderness” is the band’s sixth album, and first non-soundtrack effort since 2011’s “Take Care, Take Care, Take Care”. “The Wilderness” promises to be a bold, experimental work combining the singular song craft that has sold hundreds of thousands of albums and tickets with the cinematic sensibility that has elevated the band to the level of regard and demand its members enjoy as film composers (Lone Survivor, Manglehorn, Prince Avalanche, Friday Night Lights).

The first Explosions In The Sky album not produced entirely by the band, “The Wilderness” features long time collaborator (and Grammy-winning producer) John Congleton in a co-producer role for the first time. The band's most ambitious songs to date branch into unexpected new dimensions accordingly - Exhibit A being “Disintegration Anxiety,” which can be heard below. With its cacophonous opening washes that ultimately resolve into a locked groove, “Disintegration Anxiety” marks the rock solid midpoint of an aggressively modern and forward-thinking work.

“The Wilderness” will be released 1st April on Bella Union/ [PIAS] in the UK/Europe and Temporary Residence in the US.
