Thought Forms are Charlie Romijn, Deej Dhariwal and Guy Metcalfe.Brought together amongst the ley-lines and ancient vibrations by a shared love of guitar abuse and pedal worship, they use dual-guitars and sweeping vocals to blend layers of melody within walls of noise, creating an intense psychedelic atmosphere thick with drones and almost Shamanic experimentation and improvisation.
The band have in the past played well received sets at festivals such as Terrastock, All Tomorrow's Parties and Supersonic, and shared bills with the likes of Mogwai, Fuck Buttons, Bardo Pond, The Skaters, MV/EE, Acid Mothers Temple, Six Organs Of Admittance...
Thought Forms are currently working on their second album for Invada and several smaller releases on their own “Lava Thief” label. As well as upcoming appearances at ATP, Supernormal and Incubate Festivals in 2011, they will be supporting Portishead on their entire North American tour this October .
