Explosions in the Sky 第七張錄音室專輯《END》是張從黑暗誕生，以「結束」做為主體的專輯，死亡、友情或某種關係的結束，是停止或是因此獲得全新的開始，七首歌各自代表著一個故事，又或著是關於我們對於未知的「後來」所創造的想像；新專輯結合了樂團早期標誌的樂器堆疊行進與後期關於聲響的細膩探索，可能是天空爆炸至今最偉大的作品。
End, the enigmatic new album by Explosions in the Sky, was inspired by darkness, but became a loud, dramatic, wild rumination on life and death. “Our starting point was the concept of an ending—death, or the end of a friendship or relationship. Every song comes from a story, or an idea one of us has had that we have all expanded on and made its own world. Maybe it is 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,” says the band about the album. End is perhaps the “grandest” Explosions In The Sky album – melding the quiet restraint and crushing feel of their early recordings with the aural exploration and ornate experimentation of their later works (while incorporating their increasingly deep film and television scoring catalog).

The title End furthers a story arc reflected in the album titles that started with the “innocence” of their first album(How Strange, Innocence), progressed through the idealism and romanticism of their second and third albums (Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those WhoTell the Truth Shall Live Forever and The Earth is Not aCold Dead Place), followed by the introspection (All of aSudden I Miss Every one and Take Care, Take Care, TakeCare) and introspection and big-picture focus (TheWilderness) of their most recent albums)
