A synopsis for Big Bend: The Wild Frontier Of Texas reads: “In a journey narrated by Thomas Haden Church (Sideways, Divorce), uncover Western dramas as told by the animals themselves.

“Showcasing the natural magic of Big Bend over the course of a year, the film searches out its secret places and wild creatures, including many species of birds, butterflies, bats, reptiles, cacti and scorpions. Big Bend is home to a greater variety of these creatures than nearly any other US National Park.”

Explosions In The Sky’s most recent album came in 2016 with ‘The Wilderness’. Since then, they celebrated their 20th anniversary as a band in 2019 by heading out on an anniversary world tour, including a London date at Hammersmith Apollo, and sharing reissued versions of a number of their classic albums.
