Thank - I Have A Physical Body That Can Be Harmed

The Rock Band Thank From Leeds’ concoction of anxious disco grooves, harsh noise freakouts and inscrutable sprechgesang bluster was borne out of their hometown’s notorious – and now sadly defunct – DIY collective CHUNK . After the release of their debut full length Thoughtless Cruelty in 2022 and a smattering of EPs and split releases, the band is back with their sophomore album I Have A Physical Body That Can Be Harmed, a volatile yet joyously cathartic post-punk record. 

It is a brash, satirical and downright stomping full length that combines the raw ferocity of the band’s early work with the ambitious arrangements and electronic experimentation of their more recent output. The end result combines hardware techno squelch, jungle-inspired drumming, synth pop bombast and anarcho-punk spartan aggression, acid-fried and internet-poisoned with a shit-eating grin on its face, landing somewhere akin to The Cure’s The Head On The Door if it was remixed by Jenny Death - era Death Grips.
