In April, Explosions in the Sky will release The Wilderness, their first record since 2011’s Take Care, Take Care, Take Care. The Austin post-rock quartet gave us a glimpse of the new album with single “Disintegration Anxiety,” and now they’ve shared “Logic of a Dream” via Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show.
Like “Disintegration Anxiety,” “Logic of a Dream” shies away from the sunset-painting emotional exuberance of the band’s best-known work, opting instead for a steadily shifting palette of sounds: a delicately played bass-and-guitar intro, a curtain of feedback that comes through in a magisterial drift, tribal locomotion, cherubic harps. It’s a welcome new look for the band, one that suggests that the extended break between Take Care, Take Care, Take Care and The Wilderness was not spent not in vain.
You can give it a listen below.
