This Is This

It's been ten years since Grouplove met on a commune in Greece and brought the idea of forming a band back to California. They'd never have anticipated making it this far: four albums, multiple chart-topping singles across alternative and pop formats, a Grammy nomination, and critical acclaim from outlets such as Rolling Stone, which heralded the group as "a band who have perfected big, radio-friendly rock songs." An evolution from their last record, 'Healer,' 'This is This' shows the band returning to a sound that's far more bare and aggressive. Recorded in a burst of a few days, the songs quickly emerged in full: words, riffs, rhythms, backing vocals, containing all the excitement and relief that came with finally being able to spend time in a room together after being apart because of the pandemic. You can listen to the album with the hit single 'Deadline' on all streaming platforms and purchase on vinyl. Vinyl LP pressing. 2021 release, the fifth album from the alt-rock band.
