Explosions In The Sky is an American post-rock band from Austin, Texas. Originally formed in 1999 under the name Breaker Morant, the quartet changed their name to Explosions In The Sky that same year. Consisting of Mark Smith on guitar, Michael James on bass, Munaf Rayani on guitar, and Christopher Hrasky on drums, they have become known for their captivating instrumental compositions. With a unique blend of atmospheric soundscapes and powerful crescendos, Explosions In The Sky has established themselves as one of the leading bands in the post-rock genre.

Since their formation, Explosions In The Sky has released several critically acclaimed albums and gained a dedicated fan base worldwide. Their music is characterized by its emotional depth and cinematic quality, often evoking a sense of introspection and contemplation. Through their intricate melodies and dynamic performances, they create immersive sonic experiences that resonate with listeners.

With over two decades of experience as a band, Explosions In The Sky continues to push boundaries and explore new musical territories. Their live shows are renowned for their intense energy and mesmerizing visuals, making each performance a truly unforgettable experience. Whether you're a long-time fan or discovering them for the first time, Explosions In The Sky's music will transport you to another world.

Explosions In The Sky return. It's the band's sixth album, and first non-soundtrack release since 2011's 'Take Care, Take Care, Take Care'. True to its title, 'The Wilderness' explores the infinite unknown, utilizing several of the band's own definitions of "space" (outer space, mental space, physical geography of space) as compositional tools.

It is an album where shoegaze, electronic experimentation, punk damaged dub, noise, and ambient folk somehow coexist without a hint of contrivance - and cohere into some of the most memorable and listenable moments of the band's expansive body of work - 'proper' studio albums and major motion picture soundtracks alike. If 'The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place' was the defining album of Explosions In The Sky's career, 'The Wilderness' is the band's (re)defining album.
