Editor's review
Moving from quiet and gentle to throbbing and burly, this Texas post-rock outfit is not afraid to slip its hand under your collar, grasp the skin on the back of your neck, and take you on an emotional roller-coaster of a ride. The music's lush and hypnotic, but also dark and complex, with guitars keeping things dreamy while the percussion drives the music forward toward its destiny.
Biography
Thirty seconds is all you'll need to believe in the tragedy-turned-majesty of All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone, the long-awaited fourth album from Explosions In The Sky. The hands-over-your-face, drop-to-your-knees opening track is only the beginning of the dominating brilliance of this record. Recorded by John Congleton (The Roots, The Mountain Goats) at Pachyderm Studios in rural Minnesota, the album is a massive leap forward, showcasing a broader instrumental range and their most focused, efficient songwriting to date. It's also within arm's length of matching the overwhelming glory of their legendary live shows, trading in the crystalline production of The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place for a paint-peeling intensity that blurs the lines between studio and live performance.
