Explosions In The Sky Take A Darker Turn With ‘Logic of a Dream’

With the March 1st release of their seventh studio album looming, post-rock quartet Explosions in the Sky have dropped a second new track from the forthcoming LP.

Following on from release of Disintegration Anxiety in January, Logic of a Dream draws the group’s signature experimentation into a darker territory. Gritty guitar riffs and soaring synth drones meld into atmospheric soundscapes, while pummeling drumwork drives the ominous track forward. But it’s not all doom and gloom, working in some lighter acoustic guitar and bouncier percussion the Austin four-piece take things to a close with some more uplifting vibrations.

The group were also causing a stir last week after an angry Tweet took aim at US Politician Ted Cruz for featuring their music in a series of campaign videos without permission. The Tweet was followed by a formal statement from label Temporary Residence. Echoing the groups distaste, the statement informed fans that those responsible for the illegal synchronization had formally been issued with a take-down notice.

The Wilderness will be the group’s first non-soundtrack project since 2011’s Take Care, Take Care, Take Care.
