Back in January, Melbourne’s Thornhill set tongues wagging with the announcement of their hotly-anticipated third studio album BODIES, due out on April 4 via UNFD. And today, a final glimpse into BODIES arrives via TONGUES; a swaggering track laden with oozing melodics, dilated textures and razor-sharp sorcery that pushes and pulls with potent urgency.
Of their brand new track, Thornhill share: “TONGUES explores the tension of being pulled between opposing forces—desire and resistance, surrender and defiance. In many ways, it reflects our own relationship with heavy music, the push and pull between being consumed by it or resisting its grip. The song’s atmosphere feels like an ongoing battle, shifting between aggression and restraint. Lines like ‘turning your tongue in two’ and ‘fingernails down the walls’ heighten this conflict, evoking the struggle to commit or break free.”
