This Will Destroy You began in earnest during the mid-00’s in San Marcos, TX. A simple 6-song documentation of where they were at musically was sent Magic Bullet Records as a “thank you” for releases he personally enjoyed over the years soon became Young Mountain, the band’s first retail release.

From that moment on, the trajectory of the band became meteoric in arc and path. Acclaim from critics and fans alike came pouring in overnight (Rock Sound Magazine bestowed “Album of the Year 2006” honors on Young Mountain), the songs quickly found marriage to various licensing projects across film, television, web, and video projects the world over, and the album quickly shot up both indie retail and iTunes charts. To fully illustrate the fever pitch of the moment, even the Pentagon was caught up in the hysteria, using two songs in a disaster preparedness presentation held before the nation’s top military brass in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Upon release of their second full-length S/T, the band continued to loop North America in between several lengthy stints in the UK and Europe, pausing only to issue a few EP’s (2009’s Field Studies – a split with Lymbyc Systym, 2010’s Moving on the Edges of Things and Communal Blood).

Tunnel Blanket is the third proper full length from This Will Destroy You. It is the product of over two years of having the abyss stare back at the creator and, in turn, the creators lashing back at it with everything they’ve got. While previous albums managed to strike a universal chord of human hope and near-optimism toward the future, Tunnel Blanket is the darker and more intricate sides of human emotion, grief, and tragedy.
