About Explosions in the Sky
Explosions in the Sky formed in Austin, Texas, in 1999, with Munaf Rayani, Mark Smith, Michael James and Chris Hrasky, and have released their records through Temporary Residence. Early albums such as Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever (2001) and The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place (2003), which includes 'Your Hand in Mine', established a wordless, three-guitar sound with drums that often carry the melody.
All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone (2007) and Take Care, Take Care, Take Care (2011) kept that approach, while The Wilderness (2016) and End (2023) brought in electronics and shorter, stranger pieces. Outside their own albums they have written film scores, including Prince Avalanche with David Wingo, Manglehorn and Lone Survivor.
