Multi-talented and versatile music artist Therma has come up with a brand new single titled ‘Wolves’. Packed with energy and intriguing lyricism, the track is highly enjoyable and thought-provoking. The artist has done a great job with his robust and powerful vocal skills. He is best known for his amazing musical creations that resonate with the mass. We thank the artist for sharing a few words with us.
DMR: ‘Wolves’ is pretty amazing! What are your thoughts on your latest release?
Therma: Wolves is a little bit darker than I’ve gone in the past. Most of my music is intentionally uplifting, but ignoring darkness where darkness exists isn’t healthy, either. So this song is just me acknowledging something scary, the wolves outside, rather than pretending it isn’t there.
DMR: How did you come up with the concept behind the song?
Therma: The concept, lyrically, is about a relationship that isn’t perfect. “Cracks in the windows, floors creaking…” metaphors for the problems that exist in the relationship. But the house still keeps us warm, it still keeps the wolves away. Musically, I wanted something with that sort of dark, mysterious sound, but I didn’t know the song would end up heavy when I started writing it. But looking back on it, the feelings in the song just NEED it to be heavy.
DMR: Your musical arsenal gives the essence of neo-rock. Would you like to name some creative influences of yours?
Therma: I’ve always loved rock music, and even more than that I’ve loved artists that blend rock with other genres and elements. Linkin Park, 21 pilots, Blue October, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Enter Shikari, Awolnation… I could go on, but anybody that isn’t afraid of mixing a drum machine with an electric guitar.
DMR: How do you like to work on your craft? Writing first or the soundscape?
Therma: It usually happens simultaneously, grab a melody and then very quickly a word or a phrase attaches to it that you can’t let go of. I definitely let the music bully the lyric in the beginning, prioritizing melodies and arrangement over lyrics. But when that’s done I let the lyric get in the driver seat and retroactively change whatever part of the music I need to make the lyric feel right before I can call the song done.
DMR: Do you have your own band to work with?
Therma: I have a group that I work with. I write most everything myself, and I play a lot of what’s on the recording. I love bringing in musicians that I trust and respect to help shape and influence the music, but for better or worse the lyrics are something I do alone.
DMR: Would you like to collaborate with any artist in the future?
Therma: God, yes. Producers, songwriters. Being a fellow Texan, the idea of sitting down with Justin Furstenfeld would be a dream come true. It would be a bit more of a commute, but Jordan Fish is a hero of mine. His production is insane. And Mike Shinoda seems to be popping up with new artists all over the place, I’d be blown away to be in the same room as him.
DMR: How did you develop your knack for music?
Therma: I didn’t start playing music until I was 16 or so. And even then, I didn’t tell anyone I was in a band for a few years. I didn’t think I was cool enough to be in a band, so I was afraid of the ridicule I’d face when people found out. I still feel that way, but I guess I’m just less scared of the ridicule.
DMR: Who helped you to pursue your music?
Therma: My mom was the biggest supporter first. Money was tight when I was a kid but she still did whatever she could to buy me recording equipment, speakers, all the tools that I learned on I got from her. My sister took me to most of my first concerts where I probably first developed the itch. My cousin was a guitar player before I started playing music. If it weren’t for him I don’t think I would’ve gotten started when I did. And of course, my wife. Being supportive later on, when the gigs keep you out until 2am and you’re doing things for your career that would never be asked of you when you’re in a more traditional job.
DMR: You are undeniably great at singing. Are you vocally trained? Please share some stories.
Therma: I started in the garage, just trying to sing loud enough to hear myself over a drum kit. I took some vocal lessons in college and did a semester of choir, that was horrible haha. I’m grateful for the experience, though. Probably kept me from blowing out my voice by now.
DMR: Are you currently working on any upcoming projects?
Therma: We’re filming a documentary next month about a song I’m working on. Me and the guys have rented a lake house and will be locking ourselves inside for a week to record my next single. A bit of context, I’m a big overthinker, analysis paralysis, et cetera. I can easily put 100 hours of work into a single song, so to limit myself to about 30 hours of working time is definitely gonna be a bit of a race against the clock for me, and I’ll have to give up a lot of control in some uncomfortable places. And of course, the possibility of just flat out failing to finish the song in time will be hanging over my head… should be fun!
DMR: Since your craft typically revolves around the taste of rock, would you like to experiment with other genres in the future?
Therma: I’ve always wanted to produce a hip hop artist. When rap or even spoken word are paired with really organic instrumentals I think that’s such a beautiful marriage. And to craft a song around a rap vocal I think is so cool, rather than the typical looped drum machine, monotonous backing track you usually get. The result can be incredible and I’d love to be a part of that.
DMR: Is there anything you would like to tell your fans?
Therma: Thanks for letting me change directions so many times. I know there are more consistent artists out there; if I could be one of them I would. I have to just wait and see what emotion pops up and then chase it down with a song, playing mental whack-a-mole. But I’ll keep doing it if you keep listening.
