Songwriter, producer and general audio alchemist Fred Thomas has quietly dedicated years to constructing his own universe of strange and insular sounds. Most visible as a "brainchild" sort of bandleader with the experimental pop collective Saturday Looks Good To Me, Thomas also dedicated energy to a wide range of wildly diverse bands like the washed-out psych of City Center, scrappy dream punks Failed Flowers or the gentle duo Mighty Clouds with former SLGTM singer Betty Barnes.

The past becomes part of the future on Window in the Rhythm, Thomas' career-defining double album statement featuring a compelling inspection on memory and reflection, looking back on the past as a way of moving forward. With contributions from friends like drummer Quin Kirchner, harpist Mary Lattimore, and frequent collaborative co-producer Drew Vandenberg, the album takes the next step in an artistic progression Thomas began with a trilogy of solo records that included 2015's All Are Saved, 2017's Changer, and 2018's Aftering. The album features some of Thomas’ most intricate production work to date, as heard on opening track “Embankment” - a strikingly autobiographical song with electronic textures layered under bouncy drums and crystal clear guitar lines.
