Thursday Talk Tour and History

Thursday

Thursday sat down to talk with Alt. Press.

“Full Collapse and No Devolución are the most connected to me, because they’re at either end of our catalog. Full Collapse is the most raw, first concept of Thursday, which had the biggest impact. And No Devolución is at the other end, when we had tried a million different experiments and really messed with what we were doing. We had finally arrived at a place of, ‘This is the other end of the spectrum from that innocence.’ We know what we’re doing, and there’s stuff that we had been really trying to make work through the other records that always felt like, ‘Well, that’s a cool record, but did we get all the way where we were trying to get to?’ We finally got there with No Devolución. They also came out 10 years apart to the week. They feel like bookends to me.”

Man, this is like the perfect product, and I started writing jingles for bombs and this is the song that came out of it.

He also performed four acoustic songs, which you can watch below.
