Thread timidly balances between electro and goth threatening at any moment to
collapse onto one side or the other. Lush vocal intonations evoke ballads and
the soothing guitars and electronics flutter back to the early years of Love &
Rockets. Thread seems to stand above many other goth bands because instead of
utilizing crooning the vocalist actually has the ability to sing. The live
instrumentation of the drums and guitars seem almost buried compared to depth
and complexity of the electronics. The strongest factor is the success of the
band is it's apparent tightness and it's ability to compliment each distinct
section of itself. A large portion of the album is inordinately radio friendly
quite unlike most of it's parent genre. So radio friendly that one might at
first listen actually lump Thread into the alternative music blitz that has
been hitting the airwaves for the past several years. Absolutely one of the
most refreshing bands to come out of Seattle this year.
Thread are:
Rocky Polan - vocals, bass, keyboards, programming
Scott Stoltz - guitar, backing vocals
Brian Jackson - drums
