The West Texas post-punk band Explosions in the Sky has carved itself out a unique niche in the current indie scene with its impressionistic instrumental opuses. Fans of the band waiting for a new release need only wait a few weeks longer: the group plans to drop its fifth CD, Take Care, Take Care, Take Care, April 26 on Temporary Residence Ltd.
