Explosions in the Sky to Score New Movie

Explosions in the Sky

Explosions in the Sky is an instrumental-rock group from Texas that’s best known for providing a great chunk of the background music for Friday Night Lights, both the TV show and movie.

Anyway, according to Indiewire, the group will provide the score for “Prince Avalanche,” an upcoming film starring Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch and directed by David Gordon Green. Green previously used Explosions in the Sky for his movies “All The Real Girls” and “Snow Angels.”
