It's Friday night and, after a heavy week at work, it's time to relax by listening to this beautifully melancholic masterpiece by Explosions In The Sky.

More understated packaging from Explosions In The Sky
So, here's how things were left five years ago, with the album Take Care, Take Care, Take Care being released as two different coloured discs, housed in a sleeve that opens out and folds up to make a house in a forest. There were three different coloured vinyl editions, with the house interior matching the colour of one disc from the respective edition. I have the green/brown version.
Now they're back with a new album, The Wilderness, which, although not matching the ambition of their previous artwork, is still pretty impressive. A sort of double fold-over sleeve, containing a poster and double vinyl (in two colours with side D being etched), all housed in a 12" card slip case. All done for no reason other than (a) it looks pretty impressive and (b) because they can.
The music? A more refined, plush update on previous efforts.
