The Seattle-based reformed theatre kid weirdos of Thief Motif combine raw emotion and earnest lyrics with fun beats, melodic basslines, atmospheric guitar, punchy synth, and layered harmonies for a unique explosion of catchy progressive indie/dance rock. The juxtaposition of vibrant energy with heavy topics such as divorce or addiction is one of their hallmarks. While you bounce between rocking out and dancing your heart out, vulnerability and introspection come along for the ride.
