Explosions in The Sky 'The End Tour' – JioSpace 29 February 2024
Soundscape Records and Live Fact are excited to announce Explosions in The Sky – Live in Malaysia at Jiospace Odeum on 29 February 2024. Returning almost 16 years after their first solo concert in 2008, the Texas-based instrumental rock icons are bringing their enigmatic seventh album End Asia Tour to Malaysia. End is perhaps the “grandest” Explosions in the Sky album – melding the quiet restraint and crushing feel of their early releases with the sonic texturing and ornate experimentation of their later releases, and their increasingly deep film and television scoring catalog, influenced by personal tastes stretching from classical to soul to experimental ambient music. End is the band’s seventh, but not final, studio album. Tickets https://www.cloudjoi.com/shows/explosions-in-the-sky-end-malaysia-tour
