THUS LOVE is a band – but so much more. The Brattleboro, Vermont trio stand together, a bond cemented by their experience as outsiders looking in. For the friends, DIY is an ethos that reflects not only their musical vision but their very existence as three self-identifying trans artists.
From the band’s inception, Echo Mars (she/her), Lu Racine (he/him) and Nathaniel van Osdol (they/them) have lived together under the same roof, designed and produced their own merch, and even created their own recording studio from scratch. “I realize that most artists don’t live this way,” says Mars. “But for us, it was never really a choice. The art we make is so tied to who we are and the community we’re a part of, that this is the only way we can possibly do it.”
Their resulting debut, Memorial, is a stunningly accomplished album; the hallmarks will be unmistakable to anyone who has ever obsessed over classic LPs from indie and post-punk’s progenitors – everything from the chiming, Marr-esque guitars on opener 'Repetitioner' to the pugnacious rhythmic punch on lead single 'In Tandem'.
Despite the many difficulties and setbacks that have shaped their origin, the story of THUS LOVE and Memorial is ultimately one of triumph. Of seeking meaning in struggle. Of embracing community and love. Of finding joy in rebirth.
