Fuck Yeah Explosions in the Sky

Explosions in the Sky, along with composer David Wingo, have scored David Gordon Green’s new movie Prince Avalanche.

Last year our good friend David gathered a small crew of people and wandered out into the woods of Bastrop, Texas to make a movie called Prince Avalanche. He then asked us to team up with our other good friend who is also named David to write the musical score. So we set up a makeshift recording studio in Munaf’s living room and did just that. Over the course of a few weeks we wrote and recorded a pretty good amount of new music, and we’re happy to announce that Temporary Residence will be releasing it all as a soundtrack album on August 6th. The movie itself comes out on August 9th, and we think you’ll like it. It’s funny and sad and odd and beautiful and we’re honored to be a part of it.

Thanks for caring.

Explosions in the Sky, LIVE.

When we’re playing live, we hope to achieve a trance-like state. Not just for us, because the idea for us is to truly get lost and yet catch this stride when we can just look at one another and just know changes or know what we’re thinking like: “Go this way now.” Once that is achieved on stage, then hopefully it can pour into the crowd and then those who are there aren’t just listening…but experiencing. You know, we try our best not to have a separation. Mind you, yes, we are on stage and the people are in the crowd. But ultimately the idea is that we are all one. So my melodies aren’t necessarily being played by me but hopefully being felt by everyone. This goes for Mark’s melodies, Michael’s, and Chris’s drum beat. Yet, the idea is that it’s not us that’s playing…it’s you.
