Throne Static

Throne Static is alternative rock for the argument you're still having in your head: a woman and a man trading verses, big distorted choruses and lyrics that read like subtitles to a conversation neither of them is having out loud. Every song is about the gap between what was said and what was meant.

What You Actually Meant replays the words until they give up their secrets — "Your Exact Words," "Wrong Emphasis," "Loaded Pause," "No I'm Fine." The Villain in Your Version is finding out you were the antagonist in someone else's story, and half agreeing ("In Your Retelling," "Convenient Monster," "Some of It's True," "I Look Bad on Paper"). Good in Public keeps up appearances for the neighbours ("Sunday Best," "Separate Bedrooms," "Our Little Secret," "Still a Marriage"), and Rot in the Walls moves the same performance to the office, where everything's operational and everyone's been asked to remain calm ("Per the Memo," "Please Remain Calm," "Use Approved Language," "Exit Interview").

Sharp, cinematic and always reading between the lines, Throne Static is part of Riot Temple, Squaredrum's home for rock, created under human creative direction with AI-assisted music.
