Such twinkling, it’s almost as if Explosions in the Sky have been tasked with creating a nursery rhyme, but crucially one with appeal for the adults in the room too. Sure Her Marigold (a pair of Rumley brothers) don’t stray all that far the template according to St. Post Rock but ‘After Helene’ does feel like it has a tunesome agenda at heart. So we never quite get to the ear splitting crescendo and instead get worked up into something that a folk troupe might have magiced up. There is something for Beach Boys fans here too so we get an ever so swell piece of psychedelia for these post summer days. KH
