Thursday closes out 2024 with another new song. Following April's comeback track “Application for Release From the Dream,” they've now released “White Bikes,” along with a black-and-white video created by Duran Levinson and Nick Scholey. Watch the video for the new song below.
Thursday recorded “White Bikes” in June at Hansa Tonstudio, the studio in Berlin, Germany where David Bowie did “Heroes” and Iggy Pop did Lust for Life. “This is our gift to you this holiday season. We hope you love it as much as we do,” the band shared. “White Bikes started with an idea from [guitarist] Norman Brannon, and you can hear his signature style throughout this song. [Bassist] Stuart Richardson came up with the idea of creating the track as a nostalgic, upbeat, summer version of War All the Time. [Singer] Geoff [Rickly] told us that the lyrics deal with the loss of a dear friend – one of the first people he played music with – who disappeared one day on his bike. This means a lot to us for many different reasons.”
Thursday has not released a new studio album since April 2011 No Devolución.
