Texas post-rock band, Explosions in the Sky have announced their first album in seven years, End, and share its opening track “Ten Billion People.” This LP, is due out September 15 via Temporary Residence. The band will also embark on a U.S. and European tour in the fall. Check out “Ten Billion People” below, followed by the upcoming album’s tracklist and cover artwork as well as upcoming tour dates.

End was inspired by darkness but was molded into a wild rumination on life and death. Of the record, the band says in a press release: “Every song comes from a story, or an idea one of us has had that we’ve all expanded on and made its own world. Maybe it’s our nature, but we kept feeling that the album title was ultimately open to a lot more interpretation—the end of a thing or a time can mean a stop, but it can also mean a beginning, and what happens after one thing ends might pale in comparison to what it becomes next.”

End Tracklist:

1. Ten Billion People
2. Moving On
3. Loved Ones
4. Peace or Quiet
5. All Mountains
6. The Fight
7. It’s Never Going To Stop
