Thus Love recently released their full-length All Pleasure via Captured Tracks. The LP came out of a period of dizzying growth and transformation for the group. When they began work on it, vocalist/guitarist Echo Mars and drummer Lu Racine were still excited about the success of their 2022 debut full-length, Memorial, a leap from quiet Brattleboro, Vermont to stages across the US and UK—along with the departure of founding bassist Nathaniel van Osdol. Meanwhile, new bassist Ally Juleen and guitarist/keyboardist Shane Blank longtime musical partners, had uprooted their lives to relocate to small-town Vermont and join a band that was a month away from recording the follow-up.

We had a great time chatting with Echo and Lu from their home studio in Brattleboro, Vermont about the records that continue to inspire them.
