Thousand Thoughts released their long awaited debut album Better than Never in 2022.
The debut is made up of forward-thinking tracks written over the past few years alongside unreleased highlights of what came before, it sees the band out to plant their flag in the ground. ”Some of it’s darker and more revealing than anything that has been released by us ever before. There’s one track in particular that is literally about me killing myself,” singer Ethan warns. “But it’s also the happiest sounding track on the album.” He goes on to describe the record as a “bleak journey with depression, where it feels like you’re drowning in yourself” that has a “reassuring ending that’ll hopefully make people feel like everything will be ok… because it will.”
The “unapologetically Nü-Metal album” comes at a time where all things ‘00 are back in fashion. More than part of a revival though “it’s very much its own thing,” says Adam with the band listing the likes of Stormzy, The 1975 and Periphery as influences alongside Nü-metal figureheads Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit and Korn.
