What was your songwriting process like and is there a track that stands out to you as the most personal?ī: The songwriting process develops between the three of us pretty organically, but it did take a couple years. This album has a lot of heartache and vulnerability. It always kind of reenergizes us to get back in the studio and make more music for them. R: It’s always really encouraging when we go on tour, to see the faces of the people who listen to our music.

I remember when we toured with Tori Kelly, our most memorable shows were probably the Toronto and Vancouver shows, honestly. We’ve never done headlining shows in either Toronto or Vancouver, and those shows are actually selling really quickly. R: I’m actually particularly excited for the Canada shows. So yeah, kind of surprising how it came together without us from the beginning being like, ‘This is what it’s gonna be about,’ just kind of coming together.Īny tour stops you’re particularly stoked for? After we had pretty much finished it and had been listening to it for a while-I don’t remember who it was-but someone was just like, ‘This album is called Cold Heart.’ And we were all like, ‘Whoa, that’s perfect, that’s what it’s called!’ So maybe like a year or so ago, we were like, that’s what it’s called. What’s an unexpected direction or surprise that happened while recording Cold Heart?Į: I think an unexpected thing is that when we were recording it we weren’t necessarily focused on the whole album being a specific thing, or being called what it’s called now, so it was a cool thing experiencing it coming together. Listen to Cold Heart while you scroll, and be sure to see Thirdstory on their tour! They also tell the spontaneous stories of how Cold Heart got its name, how rapper Pusha T‘s feature happened, and the different genres that inspire their unique sound. Here, Ben, Elliott and Richard comment on the themes of heartbreak, old flames and devoted love that transcend throughout the album. What started as Ben Lusher, Elliott Skinner and Richard Saundersreleasing viral covers of Adele, Sam Smith and Taylor Swift songs on YouTube, has snowballed into original pop/soul sounds with a hint of hip hop and folk influences, combined with heart-wrenching lyrics.Ĭold Heart offers the perfect mixture of catchy, danceable tunes, like “G Train,” “Searching For A Feeling” and “Heart Hits The Ceiling,” with powerful, aching lyrics, like in “Still In Love,” that you can belt your heart out to.
