Brattleboro, Vermont post punk band Thus Love have premiered their new single “On The Floor” accompanied by a music video.
The track features on their upcoming second album ‘All Pleasure’, set to arrive on November 1st via Captured Tracks. Pre-order your copy here.
The band have also announced their tour plans for 2025. In January, they will be opening for The Vaccines on their North American tour. Full tour dates for 2024/25 are listed below.
‘On The Floor’ opens ‘All Pleasure’ with a beautiful collision of guitars that are at once ringing, melodic, and textural, as vocalist/guitarist Echo Mars resonantly exclaims: “Take time to figure out/ All these things to unlearn about.”
Speaking about it, they say:
“‘On The Floor’ was actually written while we were touring in support of the first album, and it was a song we played live a lot. It’s probably the song from this album that would have been most at home on ‘Memorial’, so when it came time to sequence All Pleasure, it made sense to us that ‘On The Floor’ would be the first song — acting as a literal bridge from the first album to ‘All Pleasure’.”
“The song itself might be the most pointed and direct on the entire record—how we often have to look outside of formal schooling for true education and how easy it is to be complicit in systems of oppression.”
Of the video, directors Augie Voss & Benni Shumlin share:
“The video for ‘On The Floor’ was truly a community effort. It’s a timeless, sweaty, rager of a song, and it opens and sets the tone for Thus Love’s new album – and Southern Vermont delivered. We were able to lean into these sensual juxtapositions – skin on metal, oil and sweat; we were literally and figuratively given the keys to these bizarre industrial spaces and machines, that allowed us to let loose like kids in a sandbox. Leather jackets, motorcycles, and junkyards are wonderfully overplayed images, so much that they have lost their context a little bit, which leaves space for play; a cow barn in bondage or a dance with an excavator… in the beautiful world of Thus Love, why not?”.
