Following their signing to Marshall Records earlier this year and the subsequent release of their debut single ‘This One’s For You’ on 22nd June 2018 (via Marshall Records and Eleven Seven Music), London-based alternative quartet Elswhere are proud to announce that they will move forward on their path to success under a new name – THOUSAND THOUGHTS!
To cement their new name in the minds of the masses, Thousand Thoughts are gifting fans and newcomers alike with a fresh dose of addictive, melodic and modern alternative rock to cling to. Released on November 9th via Marshall Records and Eleven Seven Music, the band’s brand new video single ‘Perspectives’ sees the band return to their expansive, atmospheric alternative sound – and the return of producer Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Funeral For A Friend etc.), who lent his talents to the band’s previous single ‘This One’s For You’.
You can watch the music video for ‘Perspectives’, which premiered over at Rock Sound below!
Calling to mind the epic nostalgia of Linkin Park fused with the modern vibe of Twenty One Pilots, ‘Perspectives’ sees lead vocalist and guitarist Ethan Smith drift comfortably across a furious combo of soaring, melodic passages framed with sharp, heartfelt rap sections – all dusted with gritty, agitated melodic screams. ‘Perspectives’ is sure to please a broad range of listeners!
Once again diving into the depths of mental health issues and awareness, Ethan explains the inspirations behind the band’s latest single:
“‘Perspectives’ is about the obstacles depression itself creates, while using multiple points of view. One being how someone on the outside may see things, another being how a ‘sufferer’ and also their brain views things. The irony of the song comes from a real place that people can understand and relate to and the intention is to leave the listener thinking deeply.”
News of the quartet’s fresh identity comes as Thousand Thoughts head out on a short run of UK tour dates through with label mates Rews, taking to the stages of Manchester, Bristol, London, Sheffield and Birmingham.
Thousand Thoughts are keen to take their sound on the road and show the UK what they’re made of!
“We are very excited to be out on the road with label mates Rews. Having only released two songs, it is a fantastic opportunity to take our music around the UK and play to some new faces.”
