After recently releasing their new studio album, Bodies, via UNFD records, Melbourne’s Thornhill have now announced a UK & European headline tour. Running through October and November, the trek features support from Ocean Grove and Bloom. Find the live listings below.
“Bodies marks a bold evolution in our ever-developing sound,” shares Thornhill of their latest opus. “Heroine was defined by its meticulously crafted and tightly woven concept, but the weight of this careful construction sometimes overshadowed the energy of the music itself, leaving some listeners feeling disconnected. With Bodies, we have embraced a more immediate, unfiltered approach that feels like a lightning bolt, looking to capture the energy of “Thornhill right now.” The album thrives on spontaneity and freedom, foregoing rigid concepts in favor of pure, in-your-face authenticity. It’s less about delivering a carefully constructed narrative and more about creating a visceral, open-ended experience. Bodies serves as a sonic moodboard—a collection of feelings and vibes—intentionally left open to interpretation. It has an upbeat and almost celebratory, party energy at times, but also retains all the emotion and intensity Thornhill are known for, making it our heaviest and most explosive work to date. With Bodies, we invite listeners to connect on their own terms. It’s raw, personal, and unapologetically immediate—a record that thrives in the moment, capturing our band at our most authentic and free.”
A dauntless pastiche of creative freedom and ingenuity, Bodies finds Thornhill in full flight, with its eleven tracks layered with authenticity and electrifying execution, cementing the group’s status yet again as one of Australia’s most engaging heavy acts.
