Claude says:Explosions in the Sky's sixth album arrived in April 2011 with elaborate packaging that unfolded into a model house overlooking a tornado — the Texas band leaning into patience and intricacy over their usual epic rushes. You grabbed it the month it came out and spent the next couple years working through those long builds, especially "Last Known Surroundings" and "Human Qualities," the kind of sprawling instrumentals that soundtracked drives and late nights before gradually fading from the queue after 2014.
