Thus Love Memorial (CD)

Memorial is the debut album by American band Thus Love, a richly textured work rooted in post punk and indie rock with touches of goth influenced atmosphere and experimental flair. Emerging from a DIY ethos, the record captures the intensity of the band’s small town origins while presenting a dramatic, spacious sound that feels far larger than its humble recording circumstances. The album’s mood is both cathartic and introspective, exploring themes of identity, struggle, and affirmation through urgent rhythms, angular guitar lines, and impassioned vocals that nod to classic 80s alternative without feeling retro or derivative.Released in 2022, Memorial has appeared in a limited edition LP format on coloured vinyl, underscoring its appeal to collectors and fans drawn to the band’s distinctive aesthetic and community driven spirit. As a full length statement, it functions as a compelling introduction to Thus Love’s world, balancing raw emotional weight with careful, often intricate arrangements. The combination of its stylistic range, queer post punk perspective, and vivid production makes Memorial a striking first chapter for the band and a notable entry in contemporary alternative music.
