This Is Thunder grew out of a transatlantic bond and concrete desire to create together in spite of geographical boundaries, much in the same vein as Bike For Three!, though through a vastly disparate sonic lens. It takes a certain unity of vision to make a project work with so much space in between and little to no time spent in one another’s presence. Jen Schande and Nopse were fortunate enough to hash out demos in Nopse’s France apartment and build the stormy, emotional foundation that ultimately culminated in their eager, oft-ominous debut EP, the bulk of which was recorded by Monte Vallier at Ruminator Audio in San Francisco.  The EP hits the streets on May 28.
