Thornhill released their third studio album, BODIES, in April. It follows their 2022 LP Heroine, which debuted at No. 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart. The band has been expanding its presence in the U.S., having previously supported Silent Planet on tour last year.
Described as an unfiltered and high-energy release, BODIES marks a shift in approach for the band.
“’BODIES’ marks a bold evolution in our ever-developing sound,” Thornhill said. “’Heroine’ was defined by its meticulously crafted and tightly woven concept, but the weight of this careful construction sometimes overshadowed the energy of the music itself, leaving some listeners feeling disconnected.
“With ‘BODIES’, we have embraced a more immediate, unfiltered approach that feels like a lightning bolt, looking to capture the energy of Thornhill right now.”
The band recently discussed the album in an interview with Rolling Stone AU/NZ, and also featured on triple j’s Like A Version, covering Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi”.
English prog-metal outfit Sleep Token are touring in support of their latest release Even In Arcadia, which has topped charts globally. With all dates sold out, fans are advised to check secondary platforms for any remaining tickets.
