I had no idea, can't wait to check the song out.

I'll def check this out

really good

Description found on their website :

" True to its title, 'The Wilderness' explores the infinite unknown, utilizing several of the band's own definitions of "space" (outer space, mental space, physical geography of space) as compositional tools. It is an album where shoegaze, electronic experimentation, punk damaged dub, noise, and ambient folk somehow coexist without a hint of contrivance - and cohere into some of the most memorable and listenable moments of the band's expansive body of work - "proper" studio albums and major motion picture soundtracks alike. If 'The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place' was the defining album of their career, 'The Wilderness' is the band's [re]defining album. "

Not convinced by this and the released track. I'm afraid that it'll sound like GIAA recent boring stuff...

Woah now you can't come back into the post rock scene doing what everyone has been and done while you're away you'll fade into obscurity EITS...

Really digging the production

I dig this a lot.

very interesting, maybe a bit brief but it could just be an intro or transitional track

Honestly pretty cool and different from other stuff they've done.

Its great to hear something new and different from them.

Not that interested in this, their flavor of post rock is pretty vanilla.

Vanilla is my favorite flavor
I like it more than chocolate, at least.

"i guess it's cool that they're doing something different for once in their miserable lives, but does it have to feel so amateur?”

song still better than anything you have or ever will make in yr life, so calm it buddy

I dig it

Don't use that fallacy it's boring

We talking about ice cream here? If so I probably prefer vanilla if only slightly. Vanilla after a meal for sure. The flavor is so refreshing.

Vanilla
But if available, Mint Chocolate Chip master race.

But yes, I am digging this song, especially after the soundtracks were pretty lackluster.

Butter Pecan.

If we are moving away from the vanilla/chocolate/strawberry conversation then I'm a coffee ice cream man myself.

I always convince myself I'll have something else, but then just get chocolate

surprisingly not boring track

Actually my favorite ice cream combo, if anyone's from CT, is Ashley's coffee and bittersweet. It's unreal.

See, I guess EitS really are like vanilla... but hopefully the new album will be like putting some sprinkles and magic shell or something.

THEY'RE SPRINKLES AND IF YOU SAY JIMMIES I'LL CUT YOU.

(regional dialects are weird)

Where do they say jimmies? I've heard it before but don't recall.

Midwest, maybe? I don't actually know. Maybe it's like a Maine thing?

clearly the drums are deliberately clipped. they wouldn't exactly have done that accidentally. and i think it sounds good.

It's well done, but I feel I've heard this song before 30 times before by 30 different bands.

I'm not sure if the fact that Explosions in the Sky performed it this time is enough to make anything special.

Interested in how this will turn out, but why would you release something on April 1st?

because that's a Friday and the music week in the US now starts on Friday, as opposed to Tuesday (which they changed recently).

youve changed recently

reminds me of battles

Cool track, if a tad too generic

I've always had a soft spot for the guys. Take Care was pretty good, but I reeeeally like All of a Sudden. Pretty excited for a new album.

Really hope the rest of the album is like that track because as much as I loved EITS back in the day these guys pretty much represent the most generic of what post-rock can be. Very excited for this.

They really couldn't release it on any other day that wasn't April Fools?

That track was the definition of generic post rock. Why does everyone think post rock is generic then eat shit like GIAA up gahhhhh
