We&#8217;re not always proud of our habits but sometimes there&#8217;s beauty in stepping back and recognizing that these patterns make us who we are.&#8221;<\/em> Check out the lyrics video via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rpo1RVwLz7Q?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>THUS LOVE is a band\u2014but also so much more. The Brattleboro, Vermont trio stand together, a bond cemented by their experience as outsiders looking in. For THUS LOVE, DIY is an ethos that reflects not only their musical vision but their very existence as three self-identifying trans artists. From the band\u2019s inception, Echo Mars (she\/her), Lu Racine (he\/him) and Nathaniel van Osdol (they\/them) have lived together under the same roof, designed and produced their own merch, and even created their own recording studio from scratch. \u201cI realize that most artists don\u2019t live this way,\u201d says Mars. \u201cBut for us, it was never really a choice. The art we make is so tied to who we are and the community we\u2019re a part of, that this is the only way we can possibly do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THUS LOVE traces its beginnings to Mars\u2019 and Racine\u2019s serendipitous meeting at a local print shop in 2018, when the multi-instrumentalists agreed to collaborate on a new musical project. THUS LOVE\u2019s lineup clicked into place when Mars and Racine were finally able to convince their roommate van Osdol to join on bass in 2019. The band was just starting to regularly headline renowned local venue The Stone Church when everything came to a sudden and screeching halt. \u201c<em>The pandemic hit everyone hard, but I think it was especially difficult for new artists like us that rely on live shows to spread the word,\u201d<\/em> says Racine. \u201c<em>At that point, we had a couple of demos and we weren\u2019t sure what the future would hold.\u201d<\/em> Rather than idly wait, the band decided to take their future in their own hands. Armed with nothing but YouTube videos and her innate curiosity, Mars constructed a makeshift studio in their rented apartment above downtown Brattleboro, recording during odd hours when their next-door neighbors were out and about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back now, Mars is glad the band decided to forge ahead. \u201c<em>I obviously would never want to go through a pandemic again, but I\u2019m pretty confident in saying that this album would not be coming out in 2022 if we hadn\u2019t had the forced downtime.\u201d<\/em> Their resulting debut, \u2018Memorial,\u2019 is a stunningly accomplished album, especially considering the circumstances surrounding its creation. The hallmarks will be unmistakable to anyone who has ever obsessed over classic LPs from indie and post-punk\u2019s progenitors. But even more impressive and exciting is how THUS LOVE manage to tap into this celebrated lineage to find their own unique voice and tell their own story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it\u2019s tempting to cast Memorial as a record dealing exclusively with grief and loss, Racine suggests that sometimes working through those feelings are the necessary precondition to true healing. He points to his own process of transition as proof. \u201c<em>I was in a dark place for a long time even when we were making this record. I knew what I had to do, but it didn\u2019t make it any easier. There was a long period of mourning.\u201d<\/em> Racine finally completed his top surgery in September 2021, an important step in a years-long journey to embrace his true self. \u201c<em>Even though I was struggling at the time, the happiness I feel now makes it all worth it. I will always have positive associations with this record.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Catch THUS LOVE Live<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>September<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9.26.22 Baby\u2019s All Right BK, NYC w\/ Working Men\u2019s Club<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>October<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.03.22 Mercury Lounge, NYC w\/ Sports Team<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.09.22 Stone Church, Brattleboro VT w\/ Greg Freeman, Guy Ferrari<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>October with Viagra Boys &amp; Shame<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.20.22&nbsp;Union Craft Brewing, Baltimore, MD w\/ Shame &amp; Viagra Boys<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.21.22&nbsp;Cat\u2019s Cradle, Carborro, NC w\/ Shame &amp; Viagra Boys<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.22.22&nbsp;Orange Peel, Asheville, NC w\/ Shame &amp; Viagra Boys<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.23.22&nbsp;Variety, Atlanta, GA w\/ Shame &amp; Viagra Boys<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.25.22&nbsp;Toulouse Theater, New Orleans, LA w\/ Shame &amp; Viagra Boys<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.27.22&nbsp;White Oak Music Hall, Houston, TX w\/ Shame &amp; Viagra Boys<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.28.22&nbsp;Mohawk, Austin, TX Levitation Music Fest w\/ Shame, Viagra Boys<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.29.22&nbsp;The Parish, Austin, TX Levitation Music Fest w\/ Sunflower Bean, Ringo Deathstar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.31.22&nbsp;Granada, Dallas, TX w\/ Shame &amp; Viagra Boys<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>November<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11.20.22&nbsp;Stone Church, Brattleboro VT w\/ Lahnah<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>THUS LOVE will release their debut full-length release \u2018Memorial,\u2019 which out via Captured Tracks digitally\u00a0October 7th\u00a0&amp; physically\u00a0November 11th.\u00a0In the meantime, they have released the latest <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=38465\" title=\"THUS LOVE share new single \u2018Repetitioner\u2019\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38466,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[22,23,25,28,30,1907],"tags":[10831,10932,10829,1245],"class_list":["post-38465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-live","category-music","category-new-release","category-news","tag-memorial","tag-repetitioner","tag-thus-love","tag-tour-dates"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/359DAC4A-4FCE-43F6-B6EC-95829AE4264E.jpeg?fit=1024%2C512&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-a0p","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":38237,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=38237","url_meta":{"origin":38465,"position":0},"title":"THUS LOVE announce album via Captured Tracks + share \u2018In Tandem\u2019","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"July 30, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"THUS LOVE have announced that their debut album \u2018Memorial,\u2019 will be out via Captured Tracks\u00a0on October 7th, 2022.
