ATP Concerts have announced that Explosions In The Sky are to play a headline show at the Brixton Academy in January 2012 – their largest to date.
Over the last ten years, the instrumental indie rock group have amassed a huge cult following thanks to their stunning live shows and acclaimed albums including Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever and The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place as well as their contributions to the soundtrack of Friday Night Lights.
2011 has seen the release of a new album. 50 demos where whittled down to six songs that were recorded in September 2010 in a studio called Sonic Ranch, 20 miles east of El Paso, TX. They spent almost two weeks out there with their friend John Congleton, who recorded the album; 'It is a pretty great place, with five studios and a pet raccoon on a huge pecan ranch.' When that was finished, they went back home to Austin and mixed the album at a studio called Public Hi-Fi. And finally they mastered the album in New York City with Greg Calbi. They are pretty ecstatic with how it turned out.
More information about the album, out now, can be found by following this link.
