Although it’s been a while since many were introduced to this Texas-based act through, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever, Explosions in the Sky still has much to offer—most recently, The Wilderness, which came out in April. As might be expected, it’s an evolution that incorporates more electronic elements, though it’s still the same percussive, swelling band fans love. The group serves up a heaping serving of cerebral indie-rock fare that soars as high as the heavens without ever taking you to the underworld. 1417 R Street, www.explosionsinthesky.com.
