Belgian industrial, post-rock collective THOT have announced their forthcoming fourth full-length album, ‘Delta’, set for release on 10th May 2024 through Berlin’s Pelagic Records. Delta’ is a 10-track delivery from a Belgian industrial post-rock collective that will appeal to fans fo a.o. Nine Inch Nails, Chelsea Wolfe, The Mars Volta, Bauhaus, Killing Joke, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds…
A band existing in constant flux, THOT seem to thrive in the tumult of modern life and ‘Delta’, their first long form release since 2017’s breathtaking ‘FLEUVE’, is an even more ambitious musical melting pot of the people, places, spaces and times that have helped define the band to date.
Like so many projects begun in and around 2019, ‘Delta’ was derailed by the p(l)andemic, with the first iteration of the album scrapped entirely due to creative differences amplified by enforced social distancing. Band leader and principal songwriter Grégoire Fray, born in France but based in Belgium, found himself back at the beginning; now questioning his identity as an artist in the wake of global catastrophe.
Channelling his despondency through THOT’s playful twist on chronological time, this crisis of faith became the catalyst for ‘Delta’s new shape. Fray found himself returning to the old recurring question of why he never sang in his mother tongue. Previously frustrated by its incompatibility with the Anglo-American guitar music he loved, Grégoire now found himself intrigued by his French’s fluidity when paired alongside English lyrics too.
Lead single ‘Supercluster’ was the last track written for the record and sees the band embracing the confusion of a world turned upside down. A driving, bass-heavy adrenaline rush of French and English at first feels bewildering but, as Grégoire says, “‘Supercluster’ represents a Covid supercluster just like it represents a galactic supercluster. A scale ranging from microscopic to monolithic like this makes us realise that whatever we’re wrestling with, whether it’s ourselves or each other, is ultimately insignificant and immaterial. Enjoy life, enjoy the ride!
In some ways, ‘Delta’ already is everyone’s story; a powerful, post-rock document of hope and perseverance against all odds, a narrative that has been shaped by so many people around the world. Limited edition 12″ coloured vinyl housed in gatefold with die-cut.
