Thursday are closing out 2024 with another new song. Following the April comeback track âApplication for Release From the Dream,â theyâve now released âWhite Bikes,â along with a black-and-white video created by Duran Levinson and Nick Scholey. Watch the video for the new song below.
Thursday recorded âWhite Bikesâ in June at Hansa Tonstudio, the Berlin, Germany, studio where David Bowie made âHeroesâ and Iggy Pop made Lust for Life. âThis is our gift to you this holiday season. We hope you love it as much as we do,â the band shared. âWhite Bikes started with an idea from [guitarist] Norman Brannon, and you can hear his distinctive style all over this song. [Bassist] Stuart Richardson had the idea to produce the track like a nostalgic, upbeat, summertime version of War All the Time. [Singer] Geoff [Rickly] told us that the lyrics deal with the loss of a dear friend â one of the first people he ever played music with â who disappeared one day on his bike. This one means a lot to us for a lot of different reasons.â
Thursday have not released a new studio album since April 2011âs No Devolución.
