THOUGHT FORMS - 10TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUE
Listen | Buy Download | Buy LP “This is soaring, epic stuff, the sound of effects pedals being tortured and sacrificed to the gods of thunder, phasers set to stun, and delays and fuzz too.” - Kerrang Magazine, KKKK "Reverberating guitars evoke satellite frequencies searching for life and finding it in fuzzy, distant screams. Space-age shoegazers need look no further for their next trip." Rock Sound, 7/10 "Thought Forms have created a record that is pure testament to kids with guitars. Think Sonic Youth, think My Bloody Valentine.... think Mogwai. Big fuck-off riffs with nice beefy distortion, hazy power slides through alt rock miscellanea." - Rock-A-Rolla |
SONGS ABOUT DROWNING
Listen | Buy Download | Buy LP | Buy CD "An album that bursts at the seams with musical ideas, evocative lyrical imagery and outstanding musicianship. A complete work that plays like a noir novel full of lucid imagery and unsettling sounds yet remains warm and inclusive never once compromising. This is Thought Forms at their brave, single-minded best." - Louder Than War (9/10) "As close to a perfect ten as can be bestowed on any release... Bets may now be off for album of the year." - Terrascope "Thought Forms have everything going for them. Having attracted a following due to the intensity of their dark drone-rock, there are also powerful lyrics here which leave a heavy imprint in the listener’s mind." - Crack Magazine |
GHOST MOUNTAIN
Listen | Buy Download | Buy LP | Buy CD "A superbly heady mix of full on doom rock drone and effects laden MBV style indie rock; if you can imagine Sonic Youth colliding head on with Sunn O))) then you’re pretty spot on." - Norman Records (9/10) "An album so musically ambiguous, it is impossible stow it away under a conveniently selected all-encompassing genre... Volcanic sacrifice? Beachside offering? Spiritual ascendance? It could be anything. No-wave, drone, shoegaze, lo-fi, post-metal - something-for-everyone, Ghost Mountain is difficult not to like." - Drowned In Sound "Everything from drone and doom metal to psychedelia and space-rock is touched upon on an album that is by turns intense and massively uplifting…" - The 405 |

THOUGHT FORMS / ESBEN AND THE WITCH
Listen | Buy Download | Buy LP “‘The band seem to have pumped the ghostliness up to Extra-Harrowing for this collaboration. It’s great: all wailing, a-stroll-on-the-heath-goes-horribly-awry-as-unprecedented-mist-sets-in vocals and loose Moore/Ranaldo layered guitars.” - Drowned In Sound “Thought Forms lead from the front with the Mono-like slow-rise buzz of “Your Bones”, all descending arpeggio and background feedback shimmer. Plaintive, drowning vocals lead us through the wash of fuzz – there’s a droop-lid coolness here that everyone wants taking up a little corner of their record collection.” - The Line Of Best Fit, 8/10 “Thought Forms follow on from the acclaimed Ghost Mountain with the same amount of verve and ambition as they are known for. Their four songs are bursting with energy but slick and minimal... Barebones, utterly dynamic, and frenetically appealing.” - Middle Boop Mag |
SORRY I FORGOT
Listen | Buy Digital "'Sorry I Forgot' is two sides of our trio plowing a rural idyll through a landscape of feedback, strings and ghost axe. This is wave harmonics, a plane where the voice lives as distinct entity from body/soul – the guitar eminates from earth-core, each successive chord raises the archeological layer ten foot higher. All that said, these tracks have a real lightness of bearing too, revealing distant vistas in opaque light and shadow geographies. The drone here never strays into the oppressive & dour, nor is it repressed - it's free and freeform and joyous." |
