Thrills

Let's Bottle Bohemia

£29.99

Released: 10th February 2023. 'Let's Bottle Bohemia' is the second album from the melodic Dublin-based rock band The Thrills. Originally released on Virgin in September 2004, it marked a signifcant step forward from the group's debut album, 'So Much for the City', released over a year previously. Led by childhood neighbours, vocalist and lyricist Conor Deasy and guitarist Daniel Ryan, when The Thrills emerged from Dublin in 2002, their honey-kissed American-leaning pop seemed like a breath of fresh air. The music world agreed - 'Santa Cruz (You're Not That Far)' was chosen by NME as their best single of the year. By 2004, the band were living the dream, relocating to LA and recording 'Let's Bottle Bohemia' with Johnny Cash and Slayer producer Dave Sardy. It is easy to assess quite how high The Thrills' stock was at this time - when you have Peter Buck and Van Dyke Parks guesting on your album, you've reached a certain standing. It also features orchestration from Michel Colombier, the arranger working his magic on the standout ballad 'Not for All the Love in the World' and the album's big hit 'Whatever Happened to Corey Haim?' For lovers of tuneful indie with generous dashes of Americana, 'Let's Bottle Bohemia' is a must-have.
