The Thermals

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

A Portland-based supergroup of sorts, the Thermals originally featured Kind of Like Spitting's Ben Barnett, the Operacycle's Jordan Hudson, and Hutch Harris and Kathy Foster of the twee/folk-pop duo Hutch and Kathy and the All Girl Summer Fun Band. The group formed in early 2002 as a way for its members to play just for the fun of it, but their insistent melodies and punk-inspired urgency quickly won them a local following. Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard became one of the Thermals' first fans and got the group in touch with {@Sub Po...[more]

 

 

With a wider, brighter, and wilder sound than anything they've done in the past, this record adds walls of guitars, organs, and even a few "ballads" (a.k.a. slightly pretty songs) to the mix, while still retaining the gritty post-pop-punk sound for which they're globally famous. Recorded in the band's hometown of Portland, OR by Fugazi's Brendan Canty.

Blazing through 13 songs in less than half an hour, the Thermals introduce their bittersweet, rapid-fire indie rock on "More Parts Per Million." The high-strung guitars, lo-fi production, and earnest vocals on songs like "It's Trivia" and "Goddamn the Light" recall the heyday of mid-'90s indie; indeed, comparisons have already been made between the Thermals' lilting melodies and manic energy and that of Guided by Voices. But where GBV cloaks their feelings in cryptic lyrics and titles, with the Thermals it'   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Now We Can See! The problem is, I think they meant the title to be ironic. After all, The Thermals certainly love the 90's (think Pinkerton, Last Splash, Dookie, Mr. Show), the decade when irony battled sarcasm until they both collapsed upon themselves. When The Thermals sing "Now we can see/What do we need?/We should need nothing/Nothing at all", "should" seems to be the key word. Now we can see. We know the truth, but do we even care? Does it change our beh   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. In the four days it took to record the new record, The Thermals and producer Chris Walla worked in tandem to create the perfect follow-up to the chaotic pop madness of their 2003 debut, 'More Parts Per Million.' 'Fuckin A' is another twenty-eight minute triumph for The Thermals ? screaming, piercing, as painful and discordant as it is joyous and melodic. Every track is pushed deep into the red, wrapped in a thick sheet of distortion, and served on a tattered blanket of very questionable fideli   [ read more ]
