Politics is a cold dead place.

Explosions in the Sky were made aware that their track ‘Your Hand In Mind’ had been used in a video to endorse Republican candidate Ted Cruz in a tweet sent by The Stoner’s Journal.

“We are absolutely not okay with it. Those are two people we don’t like very much. We’ll get to the bottom of this. Thanks,” read the band’s reply.

The video was uploaded to Ted Cruz’ YouTube channel yesterday (February 24).

‘Your Hand In Mind’ appears on the Texas band’s third album, The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place, released in 2003. On April 1, Explosions in the Sky will release their new album, The Wilderness.
