Thornhill returns with their edgy and riff-laden single ‘Casanova’ today, the band’s first taste of new music since their acclaimed 2019 debut album The Dark Pool. Following its first play on triple j Drive, the official release finds Thornhill stepping into an inspired new era complete with an elevated sound and image. Its new music video, also out today, confirms this and will no doubt have media, industry and faithful Thornhill fans wondering – where are the band going next?
Vocalist Jacob Charlton shares more on the track:
“’Casanova’ is about the extensively taxing experience of falling deeply for someone that you’re too afraid to completely grab onto. The kind of situation where you’re almost scared to love them and begin fixating on the little things you dislike about them or create stories in your head about them in order to keep your distance, so you don’t get hurt or hurt them,” he says.
“To match the mood of this track instrumentally, I decided to create a sort of 007 scenario, to match the vocal direction I was taking in order to get the point across without making this a sad track. I use the eyes of two agents that are stuck in a dance of death with orders to kill the other while assigned to the same case, they must choose whether or not to follow through with orders they don’t agree with.”
