The band's instrumental language, built over two decades of wordless emotional architecture, turns out to be a natural fit for the Chihuahuan Desert's vast silences and dramatic light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFollowing nearly two years of global touring in support of their adventurous and acclaimed album, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Wilderness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (2016), Explosions In The Sky paused on the future to reflect on the past.

The hour-long film intimately follows the lives of native animals amid expansive aerial views of the iconic desert landscape that makes up one of the grandest natural wonders in the world.
