thought so by Count Zero
When a band exists in its own realm, things like timelines and chronology only serve to please the outside world. What stirs loudest within a blurred cauldron of the past, present, and future is the music, dangling overhead like a specter, reminding us both of what was and what is right now. For most bands, releasing a new album after 13 years would be seen as a sort of comeback or rebirth. For Count Zero, the genre-straddling Boston alternative band that always sounded like the future while reveling strictly in a moment of insular grandeur, the promise of a new album is just simply what we’ve been expecting all along.
And now we have tangible proof that we are firmly in that right here and right now. Count Zero unveiled its fifth studio album, a theatrical 10-track odyssey titled Thought So, November 8, 2024, and celebrated with a release party that later night at Sonia in Cambridge.
