Thus Love opened their recent appearance at Comet Ping Pong with a new song, “On the Floor.” The band have been releasing music since late 2022, including a debut album, Memorial, via Captured Tracks, and today they are touring the country with a slate of new songs.

And these new songs like “On the Floor” are remarkable for their ability to capture the zeitgeist of late ’70s post-punk, particularly English post-punk, as these young adults from contemporary Vermont sound a helluva lot like young English people from 45 years ago. And that is fantastic.
