Explosions In The Sky: Take Care, Take Care, Take Care (Temporary Residence)

By Penny Wong  •  in Music

6th album (more of an EP really), and true to name and form, the Texan instrumental post-rockers continue to paint swaths of epic, proggy sounds.

Text Christopher Ujine Ong

Opener ‘Last Known Surroundings’ is a spirited builder, and it’s the usual build-and-crash modus operandi for the others that follow, with ‘Trembling Hands’ breaking away at a brash 3 minutes. Not that such a formula disparages; as prog rockers know, the length doesn’t matter, as long as the going’s good.

LISTEN TO: ‘Last Known Surroundings’
IF YOU LIKE THIS YOU’LL DIG: Mogwai, Sigur Rós, Trail Of Dead
RATING: 3½
