Brattleboro, Vermont Rock band Thus Love have shared the title track from All Pleasure, the sophomore full-length album due for release November 1st, 2024 on Captured Tracks. It is accompanied by a video directed by Wes Sterrs.
According to vocalist/guitarist Echo Mars:
It’s no accident that we named the album after this song. ‘All Pleasure’ is the very first song we wrote collectively as a quartet and I think that collaborative spirit really comes through. The addition of Ally’s vocals as a counterpoint gives the song a very different energy and feel to it. I remember when we all listened back for the first time — it was one of those eureka moments when we all realized how special this new incarnation of Thus Love could be.
The director of the video, Wes Sterrs, comments:
We shot the ‘All Pleasure’ video over two days in Portland, Maine, right after THUS LOVE got back from their UK tour. Staying true to the band’s surreal visual universe, we pulled from a grab bag of aesthetics: Jean Cocteau’s surrealist films, Lynch-ian oddities, Giallo dramatics, chiaroscuro-ian lighting, and even a pinch of Scooby-Doo vibes. All those influences (plus a bit of jet lag courtesy of THUS LOVE) melt together into a weirdo fever dream of satin, fingers, and flowers.
Thus Love recently played overseas for a run of UK festival dates, and will perform in Vermont and NYC just following the album release in early November, ahead of 2025 Tour Dates, including a run supporting The Vaccines that kicks-off in mid-January, some newly added headline shows, and additional March/April EU/UK shows.
