Thank sign to Big Scary Monsters and share blistering new single ‘Writing Out A List Of All The Names Of God’
Leeds-based noise makers Thank have unveiled their highly anticipated, high-energy single, ‘Writing Out A List Of All The Names Of God,’ coinciding with the announcement of their signing to Big Scary Monsters.
Thank, comprised of Freddy Vinehill-Cliffe (vocals/guitar), Cameron Moitt (bass), Lewis Millward (guitar/synth), and Steve Myles (drums), have built a cult following with their unique blend of noisy, internet-poisoned, dancefloor fillers. Their new single, ‘Writing Out A List Of All The Names Of God,’ encapsulates the band’s signature sound: breakneck, jungle-inspired drumming, discordant guitar lines, and tortured commentary on a foundation of abrasive synth noise. Described by the band as “a diss track,” the song exudes an uneasy urgency, with lyrics partly inspired by a desperate and hopeless desire to retain precious memories in one’s declining years.
Speaking on the track Vinehill-Cliffe says:
“I think the recorded version might actually be the first time we successfully played the whole thing through. It’s a diss track, in response to another diss track – noise rock as a genre needs more diss tracks, I feel (see The Jesus Lizard – Mouth Breather). It’s also loosely based on something I saw pinned up in my grandpa’s study one of the final times I visited before he moved to a nursing home, he had handwritten a list of different names used to refer to God, I guess because he had become so forgetful and this was something he specifically didn’t want to forget.”
‘Writing Out A List Of All The Names Of God’ is out now.
