Release Date: 26 April 2011
"... whether or not you dive into Take Care will largely depend on your appetite for loud/soft instrumental post-rock. If your appetite for it is boundless, you will be very pleased by this album, and probably also its elaborate artwork, which can be folded several ways to make the interior or exterior of a building. At its best, Take Care is ruled by drummer Chris Hrasky. The guitars tend to hang on particular figures or throw up an e-bowed haze, and Hrasky is the one who can cut through that." - Pitchfork
"Eleven years ago, a modest record store flyer read: “Wanted: Sad triumphant rock band.” Eloquent in its simplicity yet modestly bold in its ambition, it’s arguably been Explosions In The Sky’s doctrine from the moment the advert was answered." - Clash
"Post-rock bands are often described as producing soundtracks to non-existent films. If Take Care, Take Care, Take Care, Explosions in the Sky’s fifth LP, were to soundtrack a film it would be a rather summery and feel-good affair, probably full of attractive actors experiencing whirlwind romances and getting in touch with themselves." - Drowned In Sound
