Explosions in the Sky Tour With Eluvium, pAper chAse

Seems every time the four mild-mannered gentlemen of Explosions in the Sky swing back through town, the venues are twice as large and the kids are twice as excited-- I mean, if you were desperate for a pun or something, you could say these guys are blowing up.

This time around, however, they're clearly stricken with a severe case of the glums, as evidenced by the title of their latest longplayer, All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone-- which drops February 20 via Temporary Residence, as previously reported. But rather than gazing longingly at old photos of everyone, they're getting their asses out of bed and coming to visit as much of everyone as they can, you know, given the quantitative enormity of everyone.

After a pair of NY gigs and a hop, skip, and jump through Europe, the Texas post-rock foursome sweeps across the U.S. and Canada with T. Residence ambient buddy Eluvium-- who has a record due early next year as well-- along for the ride. Spitting in the face of all that graceful, instrumental nonsense will be fellow Texans the pAper chAse, who open a bunch of dates. The connection? John Congleton of the chAse produced Miss Everyone.
