MINNEAPOLIS, MN – As millions of cicadas emerge across the Midwest in a once-in-a-generation event, the micropop pioneers Thrift Bakery have found inspiration in the buzz surrounding Brood X.
The band, formed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in 1985, has released a remix of their 2023 track “Cicada” from the album “Forty Years in a Deep Ravine.” Fans of Panic! At The Disco, Garbage or Christine + The Queens will no doubt love this track.
šµ A Danceable Tribute to a Natural Phenomenon
The “Cicada (Double Brood Mix 2024)” features a stronger backbeat, making it a danceable tune that perfectly captures the energy and excitement of the cicada invasion.
Dlux, the band’s vocalist and webmaster, knew that Terrie Cloth had to sing the track as soon as he finished writing the lyrics. The single, dropped on May 17, 2024, was featured on the Scene Mom Says podcast hosted by Dani Cutler on May 29, 2024.
