Explosions In The Sky return to Scotland after their sell-out performance at the Glasgow Barrowland over 3 years ago. Known for bringing an emotional heft and sense of hope to a usually placid genre, Explosions In The Sky have experienced the kind of meteoric rise in popularity that flies in the face of music industry convention.
Their songs run well past a length suitable for radio play or commercial music videos; they didn't jump to a major label and they don't sing. Explosions In The Sky learned a great deal about themselves and their music whilst recently scoring the acclaimed major motion picture Friday Night Lights.
Besides confirming that their cathartic mini-symphonies were perfectly suited for cinema, it presented the anxious fear that their songs were becoming too easy; both to compose and to listen to. Rather than churn out a new album every year, recycling the sound and vision that made their breakthrough The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place such an unlikely success, they ceased their normally rigorous touring schedule for nearly two years to write and re-write and record and re-record the inspired album that will surely be known as their brightest hour. This is their first show in Edinburgh for over 5 years.
