Melbourne’s Thornhill have released a music video for their brand-new album BODIES penultimate track ‘under the knife’.
The band comment on the track, “I wanted to convey an underlying fear of being unnoticed or forgotten. The notion of a silhouette falling between fingers conveys a message of fleeting moments – something that can be grasped but never fully held. Within the atmosphere of the instrumentation, a haunting exploration of love and lust, blends these two feelings into something more tragic, yet hopefully relatable. There’s a delicate balance between submission (“underneath your knife”) and resistance (“I don’t wanna know yet”), which creates a soft tension, a push/pull that moves with song dynamics.”
Thornhill share on their album, “BODIES marks a bold evolution in our ever-developing sound. 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”.”
