Where shall we see you? Tickets available now #ontour #folk #americanamusic #altcountry

Our third LP, Over Again, is finally here. Believe it or not, this record was made in three studios, across two continents, in-between all the miles of touring we’ve done since arriving in America. We drove into the path of a solar eclipse to write the title track, it was a time of deep transitions as we began, for the first time, to put roots down in US soil and make a home together. The rest of these songs were written before that, at a time when visas and borders kept us apart. When being together in the same country was just a dream. This album was only possible thanks to you, our community. With the generous donations of everyone through Kickstarter, and every penny saved from touring, we headed to Betty’s in Chapel Hill, North Carolina with Alli Blois to lay down drums and guitars. Then we transformed our tiny house into a makeshift studio to track vocals, guitars, and overdubs. Outside, a massive cicada bloom turned the forest into a deafening choir while we worked through the night, singing into borrowed mics, the walls draped in our clothes and quilts. We worked right up until dawn, finishing just in time to catch our flight to the UK for tour. The record was finished in Bristol, England, at a beloved studio “Alma Vale” with Luke Cawthra, who’s worked on most of our back catalogue. This was the last project recorded in that historic spot before the landlord evicted them to make more student flats. We were in a race against time, driving to the studio between gigs to add the finishing touches, all while Luke was packing up his instruments and gear into boxes, talk about transitions! This record exists because of you. We set out to capture these songs we’d been carrying with us for years, and make something we were proud of. With your support, we were able to do that. We love you, we are ever grateful for these things we are able to create because of you and we hope you enjoy LP3 :)) We’ll see you this summer across the USA, then in the UK and Spain this autumn. Tickets are on sale now! Much love, A Different Thread P.S. it’s Bandcamp Friday! Cover photo by Chloe Noblit, Slide 2&3 by Alex Goodfred #newmusic #folkmusic #americanamusic

I’ve seen religion heal people. I’ve also seen it weaponized to excuse cruelty, greed, and climate denial. I wrote this song to name that harm, to oppose it, and to remind you that change is still possible if we join hands and stand up for what we believe in If that resonates, go check out “The Prophet” - song and video out now #folk #protestsong #climateaction

this song was a way of holding onto hope… I wrote “Goodbye Muddy Waters” on the way to the airport after being told I had to leave the country indefinitely. At the time, we had no idea when we’d see each other again. This song became a way of holding onto the life we hoped we’d build someday Years later, against the odds, our dream finally came true “Goodbye Muddy Waters” song and full album - out now #folk #americanamusic #altcountry #ldr
